Virtual Ishikari 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #27 Shoko-ji Temple

 

     Ishikari 33 Kannon Pilgrimage has lost its #13-#26 member temples.

     Shoko-ji Temple belongs to the Sanmonto School of the True Pure Land Sect of Pure Land Buddhism.  The Sanmonto School is very minor.  The distribution of its member temples is very limited in Fukui and Sabae Cities, Fukui Prefecture.  The settlers around Shoko-ji Temple might have come from the area.

     The main deity of the temple is supposed to be Amitabha.  It is not recorded whether the temple has an Avalokitesvara statue or not.   

     As Ishikari 33 Kannon Pilgrimage has lost its #28-#33 member temples, Shoko-ji Temple is the last one.
