Virtual Shimokita 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #27 Kannon-do Hall

 

     A Thousand-Armed Sahasrabhuja image was presented by Kasai Kichibe, a lumber dealer from Hokuriku Region, in Kawauchi Village in 1718, almost simultaneously with the organization of the Shimokita 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.  A Kannon-do hall was built fot the image in 1745.

     Kawauchi Village was located at the mouth of the Kawauchi River.  Kurakoshi Fortress was on the right bank of the midstream

     In the 1450's, when the Kakizaki and Nanbu Families fought against each other, the area was called Uchihi-gawa, and a local administrator was stationed.  It is unknown, however, whose side the administrator belonged to.
