    I call it (zensoji).

    Original Text

    It is called (Zensoji). At the temple of the Jodo sect, the 32nd generation and the second generation Senkoshi, who are deeply related to the successive generations of flower arrangement Ikebo, are enshrined in the first year of Manji (1658) 〜 From 1908 to the 42nd generation Senshoshi. There is Jizo-do on the right side of the front gate, and Mudfoot Jizoson is enshrined inside. There is a graveyard in the back of the front when entering the precincts, and the stone Buddha Amida Nyorai is enshrined on the right side immediately after entering the graveyard.

    and the jizo who helps me when i suffer.

    Original Text

    The surrounding area is an area with many houses and temples. Also, the road is narrow, so it is difficult to shoot. To be honest, it's a temple that is hard to say that it has a characteristic feature. I think the precincts are moderately large, but it may be normal in Kyoto. It is said to be a mud foot Jizo or a sweaty Jizo, and a Buddha who carries the suffering when having difficulty giving birth is enshrined.

    It's a jodo sect temple.

    Original Text

    It was a small temple in the city. It was temporarily released on a winter trip to Kyoto two years ago, but it seems that it is not open to the public until Douuchi. There is Jizo with a strange name called Mudfoot Jizoson.

    mud foot Jizo

    Original Text

    Zensoji Temple is located a little south of Sanjokai Shopping Street, near the Omiya Rokkaku Post Office. It is a temple of the Jodo sect that enshrines the stone Buddha Amida Nyorai enshrined since 800 years ago on the site of the Shijo Goin Imperial Palace. The main hall retains the history of syncretization of Shinto and Buddhism such as chrysanthemum crests and phoenixes. Jizo-sama, who saves a pinch, and Mudfoot Jizo-son are also famous.

    Opened in winter trip 2019 in Kyoto. Amida Nyorai of stone Buddha enshrines.

    Original Text

    It is said that there was a time when the Emperor's palace was located in this area during the Heian period. There is Amida Nyorai, a stone Buddha, which is said to have been made after listening to the teachings of Honen Shonin from that time. It was then rebuilt in the Hideyoshi era after devastation. In addition, I visited it because there was a special exhibition this time, such as the deep connection with the flower arrangement Ikebo family, but it was a temple with a wasteful history. When you come from the south on Omiya Dori street, go north on Omiya Dori street, which is rapidly thinning at the Shijo Omiya intersection. Post ...
