Virtual Mogami 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #22 Ryugo-ji Temple

 

     Sometime between 1661 and 1673, Tsuchiya Matasaburo visited the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.  When he stayed in Kawaraya-ji Temple in Omi Province, he bought an image of Arya Avalokitesvara, who is the human-figure prototype of the other 6 metamorphoses.  After he returned to Nobesawa Village, Murayama County, Ideha Province, he built a hall in Ryugo-ji Temple, and enshrined the image.
