Virtual Miki County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #23 Sugino-do Hall

 

     It is unknown when Sugino-do Hall was built to enshrine Cintamanicakra, who usually has 6 arms and holds chintamani (a wish-fulfilling jewel) in one of the six, either in Hayata Village or Eimonzen Village, Miki County, Harima Province.  Not only its history but its whereabouts is uncertain. 

     I asked Gemini about Sugino-do Hall twice.  Once, it (she/he?) suggested the hall belongs to Eiten-ji Temple.  Next time, it (she/he?) answered Yakushi-ji Temple’s Kannon-do Hall is Sugino-do Hall.  If what it (she/he?) said were true, the membership of the Miki County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage didn't have to be transferred to Toko-ji Temple.

     Yokawacho Kusuhara, Miki, Hyogo, has 3 shrines: Otoshi, Hachiman, and Suijin Shrines.  Near Suijin Shrine, they have Kusuhara Community Center.  Sugino-do Hall could have been a shrine temple of the first 2 shrines, or may be used as a community center today.
