Virtual Tama Aqueduct Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #9 Io-ji Temple

 

     Io-ji Temple was founded by Priest Reio in 1625, supported by Tanioka Shigehisa (?-1691).

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

     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 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.
