Dannō-hōrinji Temple

It is close to Sanjo station. I entered from a big road, so I thought I should stop at the parking lot. When I visited the office and searched for the office, there was a message at the entrance stating that I couldn't make a red stamp due to Danya's business. When I gave up and thought that it was just a beckoning cat, I was lucky enough to have a priest and had him book it.

Horinji Temple The official name is Mt. Chaoyang Sandan-no-in Temple Mujo Horinji Temple. In the latter half of the Kamakura era, Ryoe Motoi founded Goshinji. After disappearing due to the Onin turbulence, Taichi Nakanobu founded the current Horinji Temple. In the Goshinji era, Ryoe Ryojin received "Mt. Choyo" from Emperor Kameyama. He was originally from Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, and went to Ryukyu (Okinawa) on his way to China, but he could not go to China and stayed in Ryukyu for three years. It is said that the present Okinawan traditional performing arts Eisa is in the Nembutsu dance that was reported by Jojin Fukuronaka. After leaving Ryukyu, Fujinakajo enters Kyoto and builds Horinji Temple. In the Ryukyu era, 1603 (Keicho 8 years), Senjin Fukuronaka felt the Lord Night God. Horinji Temple was erected in 1611 (Keicho 16). The main night god is enshrined on the left side of the main hall of Horinji Temple, the main statue of Amida Sanson, and on the right side from the outside. Opening is only once in December. It is a statue of a woman with a feminine figure. In Kegon Sutra, it is written as the night god of the performance. The angel of the main night god is a cat, so beckoning cats are beaten together. In front of Reiko Sayaka, there is the oldest lucky cat in Japan and the black cat lucky cat. The height is a little less than 10 centimeters, some ears are missing, and the eyes are big. Horinji Temple is decorated with donated cat statues from across the country. The dragon god is enshrined on the right-hand side of the main shrine and on the left side from the outside. This is an open book for the first day of June every year. It is a statue of a feminine Buddha. In addition, since Kannon-do is scheduled to be completed in 2020 next year, an eleven-sided Kannon statue will be enshrined in the main hall. A rare statue with a tin cane on the right and a pot on the left, and an open lotus and lotus. The same author as Nara and Haseji. In the main hall, there are many statues of Buddha of unknown origin, such as the Jizo lantern, the Kakuzo zou, the Benzaiten, the Daikokuten, the Amida Nyorai, the Bishamon heaven, the Kannon sculpture, and the elder. Buddha statues whose production dates are known are from the Heian period, and gold leaf remains. Behind the main shrine is a figure of the Buddha Buddha sitting on the left and right, followed by an elephant on the left, an elephant on the left, and a lion on the right. The precincts of the precincts are arranged back to back, with two pairs of the four heavenly kings. The precincts are narrow and the buildings are damaged, but the scale is large, indicating that it was once a magnificent temple. The temple office is a building behind the warehouse. The monk is a resident resident and is often absent from legal affairs. You can view the main hall only when there are people at the temple. Admission fee is 300 yen (as of October 8, 2019). The detailed explanation is 2,200 yen (price as of October 8, 2019) written in the book sold at the temple office while reading the pamphlet.

For the time being, I'm sorry to say that it's a Buddhist temple (I'm sorry for Miha) ... Recommended for cat lovers. It looks like ...). The candy is Kintaro candy, a cat with an amulet.

It is a famous temple for the spot-billed duck march during the rainy season. The tourists are not very popular, probably because it is located in the back, so you can relax and worship. The camellia is beautiful.

I visited on December 22, 2008. "Danno Horinji" enshrines the "main night god" that protects against theft and fire. Since ancient times, cats have been considered to be the messenger of the main night god, and maneki-neko with the inscription of the main night god have been made since the middle of the Edo period. This cat is a black cat with his right hand raised, and has been worshiped by many people, and is said to be the oldest beckoning cat related to temples and shrines. The secret Buddha, the Lord Night God, opens on the first Saturday of December. In December, you can get a limited red stamp of the beckoning cat according to the memorial service of the main night god. Both the tower gate and the main hall were very good. I received the red stamp at the office in the back of the precincts. I received a red stamp and a red stamp book of the beckoning cat for December only. On the homepage, there was a date when you could get a limited red stamp. It seems that the red stamp may be refused due to a memorial service, etc., and he requested that he visit after confirming by phone in advance.

The temple with the oldest "Black Maneki Neko Densetsu" in Japan, the temple with a deep connection to Okinawa, and the "Danno Nursery School" established in 1950 in the precincts are the first in Japan to offer "night childcare". It is also known to have started. There used to be Goshinji Temple, which used to be a Nembutsu dojo, but it was destroyed by fire due to repeated natural and man-made disasters such as the Onin War. From Ryukyu to Ming, Taichu, who tried to study the scriptures but did not come true, built a new Danno Horinji Temple in 1611. In the main hall, the statue of Amida Nyorai is enshrined as the principal image, but apart from that, the "Shuyajin", which protects against nightmares, disaster prevention, and theft disasters, is also enshrined, and it can be used throughout the country as its messenger. There is a "black cat with his right hand raised", which is rare and is said to be the oldest in Japan. It is known among cat fans that there are many other beckoning cats that the chief priest asked for or were dedicated to because of this connection. In addition, when Taichi was staying in Okinawa for three years, he spread "Nenbutsu Odori" as a clear teaching of the Jodo sect, which was related to the establishment of Okinawa's traditional performing art "Eisa". Inviting a lecturer from Okinawa, the "Danno Eisa Corps" was formed at the Danno Nursery School, and when the roof was repaired in 2006, the Okinawan guardian deity "Shisar" was dedicated. Okinawa related events are also held regularly. Besides, it's a completely personal impression. It is said that it is the former collection of Kozenji Temple in Osaka Izumi, which was purchased by the 22nd generation Hoyo Genryo, who was installed in the precincts of the tower gate, with the new construction of the tower gate in 1888. The statue of the four heavenly kings is similar to the idol Ladybeard. I'm a little worried, no, I'm very worried.

Horinji Monzencho, which goes up Sanjo, Kawabata-dori, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Jodo-shu Chaoyangsan Dannoin Mujohorinji. In the 9th year of Bun'ei (1272) during the Kamakura period, the Jodo sect Sanjo school's Watchtower Ryoe Shonin received the devotion of Emperor Kameyama and received the mountain name of Mt. After that, Goshinji was damaged by the Onin War, repeated natural disasters, and man-made disasters, and it is said that it was burnt down during the Eiroku period during the Muromachi period. After that, in the 7th year of Keicho (1602) during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, Taichu Jonin built a grass hermitage in the green area where Goshinji was located and revived it. The second-generation chief priest, Ryosen, who had a strong human virtue, became known as "Danno-san".
