I grew up in Setagaya Ward of Tokyo and lived there until I turned 33. In 1961 a new temple was built in Setagaya by a Buddhist priest Bokken who asked Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa to preside the inauguration ceremony and consecrate the new temple and a Goddess of Mercy.
This is another entrance of Setagaya Kan-non-ji Temple which is in the center of a quiet residential area.
The Goddess of Mercy which had been preserved in Ise of Mie Prefecture was invited to this temple as the idol.
Another Goddess of Mercy which changes our nightmare into a good luck.
Naki-ryuu, a crying dragon being attached to the ceiling of the main gate. When you clap your hands, you can hear the dragon crying.
Odawara Local Administrator's house was relocated from Odawara to Setagaya.
During World War Ⅱ, a lot of young pilots lost their lives as special attack corp; they have been enshrined here.
My parents' daily visit to this temple were answered; they lived happily until they passed away in their 90s.
