Virtual Hachinohe Castle Town 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #33 Taisen-in Temple

 

     The Hachinohe-Nanbu Family, or the Nejo-Nanbu Family, advanced to Kai Province to support the Southern Court.  Taisen-in Temple was founded in today's Kurami, Nishikatsura, Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi 403-0023, in 1367 by Nanbu Masamochi.  They returned to Hachinohe in 1398 after the Southern Court was merged with the Northern Court.  Masamochi ruled Niida Village and called his family Niida.

      Taisen-in Temple was moved to Niida Village either in 1533 or 1570.  When the Niida Family moved to Tono in 1590, the temple moved with them.  Nanbu Toshinao (1576-1632), the 2nd lord of the Morioka Domain, supported the revival of Taisen-in Temple in Niida Village.
