Virtual Saitama City Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage #1 Sasamaru-Kannon-do Hall

 

     It is unknown when a Kannon-do hall was built in Sasamaru Village, Adachi County, Musashi Province.  The village became independent from Katayanagi Village, whose name had been recorded in the Southern Court and Northern Court Period (1336-1392), in the latter half of the 18th century.  At the turn of the 19th century, the village had only 8 households and couldn't support an independent Buddhist temple.  However, they had their own graveyard by the hall.  Precisely speaking, the hall might have been built for the graveyard.
