Virtual Iruhi Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #13 Tsuboki-do Hall

 

     It is unknown when, why, and how Tsuboki-do Hall was founded.  The hall enshrined the image of Arya Avalokitesvara, who is the human-figure prototype of the other 6 metamorphoses. 

     It wasn't recorded when the hall was abolished, but, when it was abolished, the image was moved to Shogetsu-ji Temple.

     When Mamiya Kotonobu (1777-1841) compiled the New Topography and Chronology of Musashi Province in 1830, Shogetsu-ji Temple didn't have a Kannon-do hall, but it does.  It is clear that the hall was abolished after 1830.  Presumably, the abolishment was after the Meiji Restoration.
