Virtual New Innami County 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #17 Jofuku-ji Temple

 

     It is unknown when Jofuku-ji Temple was founded in Oguni Village, Innami County, Harima Province.

     Although Oguni Village was documented in the Wamyo Ruijusho, namely Japanese Names for Things Classified and Annotated,  which was a Japanese dictionary compiled in 938, it isn't certain if it covered the same area with the medieval one.  The Oguni Manor was first documented in 1155.  Kanki Village was documented as part of the manor in 1306.  The medieval Oguni Village was documented in 1595.

     Jofuku-ji Temple's precincts have several Buddhist stone coffin statues which were made in the Muromachi Period (1336-1573).  So, it isn't certain if the area was called Oguni Village when the temple was founded.
