Virtual Miki County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #9 Jisho-in Temple

 

     It is unknown when Jisho-in Temple was founded in Yoroki Village, Miki County, Settsu Province.

     Yoroki Village was developed after Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-1598) sieged Miki Castle from 1578 to 1580.  The area was part of the manor of the Miki County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #11 Jigen-ji Temple.

     Jisho-n Temple could have been founded for the villagers to meet the religious policy of the Tokugawa shogunate, which established the danka system in the 17th century.  Under the system, the Tokugawa Clan made the affiliation with a Buddhist temple compulsory to all citizens.  Was the village developed by defeated samurai of Miki Castle?
