Virtrual Shinobu Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #10 Kannon-do Hall

 

     It is unknown when Kannon-do Hall was founded.  Priest Yushun (?-1696), who was from Dewa Province, and who was a member of the Daijoji Family there, revived the hall.

     Tomuro Chikahisa was the lord of Kisai Castle in the middle of the 14th century.  At the beginning of the 16th century, Oda Akiie (?-1539) occupied the castle.  He adopted Tomooki, a son of Narita Chikayasu (?-1545).  When Tokugawa Ieyasu moved to the Kanto Region in 1590, Matsudaira Yasushige (1568-1640) moved in.  Kannon-do Hall still keeps the lords' Buddhist Tablets.  Today, one of the Hagiwara Families around the hall maintains the hall.
