Virtual Arima County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #2 Nenbutsu-ji Temple

 

     Nenbutsu-ji Temple was founded in 1538 by Priest Kyuyo (?-1623).  In 1712, it was moved to its present place, where the villa of Nene (1549-1624), the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598), was located.

     Miyoshi Masanaga (1508-1549) fought with Miyoshi Nagayoshi (1522-1564) for Hosokawa Harumoto (1514-1563), the 17th head of Kyocho-Hosokawa Family, till 1548, but Masanaga and Nagayoshi fought against each other in 1549.  That means, 1n 1538, the Hosokawa Clan was declining and the Miyoshi Family was extending their power even in central politics.  It is unknown what Kyuyo had in his mind in those days.
