Virtual Shonai 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #8 Jizo-in Temple

 

     According to tradition, Komonoimi Shrine was founded in Omonyama sometime between 539 and 571, far before the foundation of Ideha County on November 14th, 708, or the establishment of Ideha Province on October 27th, 712.  If the tradition tells the truth, the shrine could have been founded either by so-called northern foreigners or by colonists from Japan.  In 719, the shrine was moved to its present place.  Later, it was renamed Suginoo Shrine.

     It is unknown when Jizo-in Temple was founded as Suginoo Shrine's shrine temple.  Tradition says that the renaming of the shrine and the foundation of the temple was done at the same time.  The shrine used to have 6 shrine temples but the other 5 temples were abolished after the Meiji Restoration Government issued the Gods and Buddhas Separation Order in 1868.

     There used to be 5-6 Omonoimi Shrines in Akumi County, Ideha Province.
