Virtual Tama Aqueduct Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #20 Seiko-ji Temple

 

     The Nanjo Family became farmers and called themselves Tanioka after the collapse of the Later Hojo Clan in 1590.

     The Later Hojo Clan ranked their vassals according to when they became subject to the clan.  The Nanjo Family was ranked in the Odawara Group.  That means the family became subject to the Later Hojo Clan after the clan occupied Odawara Castle in 1495.

     When Nanjo Shigenaga was the head of the family, he was given Todoro Fortress in Fukasawa, Ebara County, Musashi Province, partly because he fought well in the Battle of Konodai in 1564 and mainly because the Later Hojo Clan wanted to drive a wedge into the Kira Family's rule over Setagaya.

     In 1564, Shigenaga's father, Shigeyori, founded Fukasawa Shrine.  Under the Tokugawa Shogunate, they founded its shrine temple and named it Seiko-ji.  After the Meiji Restoration, the temple was abolished.
