    A small hall enshrining Prince Shotoku

    Original Text

    It is a small temple found while walking along the approach to Jiunji Temple in Kanmangabuchi, and according to the explanation board, Prince Shotoku is enshrined. It is said that he began to be worshiped in praying for improvement in skill after collecting master craftsmen from various countries and building Horyuji Temple. The year of its founding is not certain, but after the first shrine was built from the early to mid Edo period, it was rebuilt several times, and the current Mido is from the Showa period. Maybe the improvement in skill was related to the construction of Toshogu and Otsukiden? Imagine it as a cherry blossom ...
