Virtual Yashima Domain 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #4 Sen'ju-in Temple

 

     It is unknown when Sen'ju-in Temple was founded in Maego, Yurihonjo, Akita 015-0341.  The temple's name suggests that it enshrined the Thousand-Armed Sahasrabhuja statue, but, according to tradition, it enshrined Horse-Headed Hayagriva.  The temple could have been abolished after the Meiji Restoration Government issued the Gods and Buddhas Separation Order in 1868, as the temple belonged to the Shugen-do Mountain asceticism, which was prohibited by the government.

     It is unknown where the statue has gone.
