Virtual Shinobu Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage #14 Jigen-ji Temple

 

     It is unknown when Jigen-ji Temple was founded in Tajima Village, Hara County, Musashi Province.

     Tajima Village was developed presumably after Ina Tadaharu (1606-1653) made the Old Ara River flow into the Iruma River in 1629.  Swamps in the Old Ara River Basin became drier, and an island-like land might have appeared between the Tone River and the Old Ara River.  The island came to be called Tajima, namely Field Island.

     Jigen-ji Temple enshrines Eleven-Faced Ekadasamukha.
