Kasadera-Kannon
Ryufuku-ji (temple)
In January 1814, a statue of Juichimen-Kannon (Eleven-faced Goddess of
Mercy) was found from the ground of Kasadera-Kannon precincts. It became a big news and people came to pray or just to have a look at it. It was a kind of turmoll and the temple had been crowded day after day like festivals. |
