If you call out nani kuso 「何くそ！」 three times, Jizo will help you to carry on.
(In Japanese this means, "forget this shit", "fuck it" . . .)

This Jizo wears a headband and has one knee up in a ガッツポーズ Guts Pose, to show his decision to make you go.
The inscription reads

Pray hard, and any flower of yours will come out to bloom!

The shops there sell a votive tablet to hang in your home, if needed !

- - - Once upon a time in Tohoku
there was a long, wet, cold summer and no good rice harvest and all the rice farmers were hungry.
The Inari Fox, the Rice Harvest Deity, came down to Jizo and the two discussed how they could help the poor farmers.
Jizo decided to sit by the roadside with a rice ball in hand and Fox sit at his side.
Every time a farmer passed and folded his hands in prayer, he could take the steaming-hot rice ball, still warm and tasty, eat it and go on.
Then Inari Fox would place another one on Jizo's hands and when the next farmer came, again, a steaming-hot rice ball was ready for him.
Thus
the two heavenly friends helped the village pass time the time until the next bountiful rice harvest was ready.

TEMPLES - Gofunai temples 34 and 35

[ . BACK to DARUMA　MUSEUM　TOP . ]

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Nr. 34 - Sannenji 三念寺 Sannen-Ji

- 醫王山 / 薬王山 Yakuozan　遍照院 Henjo-In　三念寺 Sannen-Ji
文京区本郷2-15-6 / 2 Chome-15-6 Hongō, Bunkyō ward
Shingon Sect : 豊山派

The temple looks like a modern two-story building.

This temple was founded in 1472 by Saint 品隆上人.
The main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai, made by 慈覺大師 / 慈覚大師 Jigaku Daishi. The priest 恵心僧都原信 Eshin Sozu Genshin (942 - 1017) kept it to pray for the healing of his mother.

Above the entrance is a large name plate with the letters 薬王山 Yakuozan.

The place of its foundation was at the slope 三念坂 / 三年坂 Sannenzaka, refering to a slope with three temples.
It was moved to its present location in 1603.
Nearby was the estate of the Daimyo 小笠原壱岐守 Ogawawara Iki no Kami Nagamichi (1862 – 1868).
In the compound were many graves of famous people, but after the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923 they were moved to 多摩墓地 Tama Graveyard.

Genshin - 恵心僧都原信 Eshin Sozu Genshin (942 - 1017)

- quote -
Genshin 源信 (942 – July 6, 1017), also known as Eshin Sozu,
was the most influential of a number of Tendai scholars active during the tenth and eleventh centuries in Japan. He was not a wandering evangelist as Kūya was, but was an elite cleric who espoused a doctrine of devotion to Amida Buddha which taught that because Japan was thought to have entered mappō, the "degenerate age" of the "latter law," the only hope for salvation lay in the reliance on the power of Amitabha. Other doctrines, he claimed, could not aid an individual because they depended on "self-power" (jiriki), which cannot prevail during the chaos of the degenerate age, when the power of another (tariki) is necessary.
In his approach to rebirth in the Pure Land, Genshin emphasized visual meditation practices, where later Pure Land sects favored verbal recitations such as the nembutsu. Genshin's doctrine is documented in his magnum opus, the Ōjōyōshū (往生要集 "Essentials of Birth in the Pure Land"), which in later copies of the text came complete with graphic depictions of the joy of the blessed and the suffering of those doomed to chaos.

Genshin's influence in contemporary Japanese culture today is primarily due to his treatise, Ōjōyōshū, particularly the graphic descriptions of the Buddhist hell realms (地獄 jigoku), which inspired a genre of horror and morality stories. The 1960 Japanese film Jigoku was influenced by Genshin's Ōjōyōshū among other works.
In Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, he is considered the Sixth Patriarch.
Genshin
is credited as the founder of the Enshin school of Tendai Buddhism, and for espousing the "original enlightenment" teaching, or hongaku (本覚), where one is originally enlightened, but unaware of it. In all, Genshin left more than 30 works which continue to influence Pure Land thought today.
The image of Amida Nyorai
in the main building of Yasaka-ji Temple in Shikoku is said to have been made by Genshin in the Heian Period.

Fukuo Jinja 福王神社 Fukuo Shrine, Mie

三重郡菰野町大字田口 / Taguchi, Komono, Mie District, Mie

The shrine is located up on a steep slope, the 天狗坂 Tengusaka. It was established more than 1200 years ago by 聖徳太子 Prince Shotoku Taishi to venerate Bishamonten.
The main days of rituals are on days with a 3, where many people come to venerate.
During the time of 敏達天皇 Emperor Bitatsu Tenno (538 - 585), a statue carver named 安阿弥 Annami came from 百済 Kudara, Korea, and carved the statue of Bishamonten. Shotoku Taishi later placed it here to pray for the safety of the country and to protect shrine 伊勢神宮 Ise Jingu.

There are many very old sugi 杉 cedar trees in the compound.
One of them, said to be more than 1000 years old, is the sacred 太子杉 Taishi Sugi.
The forest around the temple used to belong to the 桑名藩 Kuwana domain.
Nearby there was also the famous cedar tree Tengu sugi 天狗杉 Tengu cedar in the Kuwana forest, but this cedar does not exist any more.
