Virtual Old Nukanobu 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #4 Asahi Kannon-do Hall

 

     The Nanbu Family divided the main part of Nukanobu County into 9: Ichinohe, Ninohe, Sannohe, Shinohe, Gonohe, Rokunohe, Shichinohe, Hachinohe, and Kunohe.  A part of the Ninohe area produced millstones, and the area came to be called Ishikiridokoro, namely Quarry.

     Ishikiridokoro had a cave and an image of Arya Avalokiteshvara, who is the human-figure prototype of the other 6 metamorphoses, was enshrined in the cave around 847.
