Ichinomiya-ji
The Ichinomiya-ji ( Japanese 一宮寺 ) is a temple of the Omuro branch of the Shingon direction of Buddhism in the city of Takamatsu in Kagawa Prefecture . It is the 83rd temple on the Shikoku pilgrimage route .
history
The temple dates back to the Nara period and was founded by priest Gien (643-728), who called Daihōin ( 大 宝 院 ) and assumed the Hossō direction of Buddhism. When Ichinomiya temples were built in all parts of the country during the Wadō era (708–715), priest Gyōki restored the temple and gave it its current name. Priest Kūkai , who visited the temple at the same time, gave him a self-made Kannon figure and placed the temple under the Shingon direction.
In the armed conflicts during the Tenshō period, the temple burned down, but was then rebuilt by Yūsei Daitoku. In the Edo period , the temple was subordinated to the Tamura shrine ( 田村 神社 ) by the princes of Takamatsu .
The attachment
You enter the temple complex in the east through the main gate (山門, Sammon; 1) or through the west gate (西門, Seimon; 2). From the main gate it goes straight to the main hall (本 堂, Hondo; 3). The current building, made of camphor wood , dates back to 1701. You pass the bell tower on the left (鐘楼, Shoro; 4). If you look at the main hall, you have the Daishidō hall (大師 堂; 5) in front of you on the right. Next to it is the Goma Hall (護 摩 堂; 6), which has a pyramid roof.
