Tsujinoyakushido - Kamakura

A small temple dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai. Impression that is cherished by the locals. It was a pity that the explanation was fading and couldn't be read.

As the name suggests, Yakushido in Tsuji.

51.Gyakushido access: About 20 minutes on foot from Kamakura Station, Walk along the Omachi Yotsuka toward Timber Seat, and you will see a small hall before the railroad crossing on the Yokosuka Line. It looks like a small hall that seems to be everywhere in the city, but it has a great history. Please observe while feeling it. At present, the Yakushi Sanson and the Twelve Gods statue 2 躯 located in the hall can be freely viewed as replicas. Yakushido is maintained by the members of the neighborhood association of Omachi Sakaimachi. The following statues have been transferred to Kamakura City and are now in the Kamakura National Treasure Museum. At Kamakura National Treasure Museum, you can see the restored "Yakushi Sanson and Twelve Gods Statue". ・ Wooden pharmacist Nyorai standing statue-Nakason of pharmacist Sanson, presumed to be a work of the late Heian period, but there are many repairs throughout, including both hands and feet. Wakizuchi's Nikko / Moonlight statue is a work that goes down in the Muromachi period. The statue of Yoroshi Yakushi, the main lord, is one of the few Heian Buddhas in Kamakura, which is handed down by Yukimoto (668-749, a Homon Buddhist priest who worked in social work during the Nara period). -Wooden twelve gods statue-8 out of 12 tiles are from the Kamakura period, and the remaining 4 are supplements from the Muromachi period. It is said that Kakuenji's twelve god generals (written by Kamakura Buddhist and Asayu during the Muromachi period) were modeled after the image of a pharmacist from the Akatsuki. This Yakushido is said to have been located within the precincts of Iozan Tokoji Temple, built in 1209 by Nikaido Yukimitsu in Nikaido (currently around Kamakura Shrine). (Tokoji Temple is the place where Emperor Goyo's prince Mamoru Oka was imprisoned and later killed by Naoshi Ashikaga) After that, Tokoji Temple became an abandoned temple, and in 1704 Hoonaga's first Yakushi Sanson and Twelve Gods statues were moved to Ozen Nagoshi Gyoen (near Nagoshi Kiri), Komayoshi Shingon Buddhism Chozenji. (Chozenji was founded by the Emperor of the Emperor Seibu, the time of Kamikame (724-729) by Tokidada Someya, the descendant of Fujiwara Kamaashi (the oldest Kamakura Shrine in Kamakura was also founded). Chozenji was later moved to the east side of Komachi-Oji (near Honkoji) and prospered throughout the Edo period, but was burnt down at the end of the Edo period and became an abandoned temple. Despite numerous fires and disasters, the main statue of Yakushi Sanson and Twelve Gods (four were restored during the Muromachi period) have been hardened and protected by locals. And in 1889 (Meiji 22), along with the construction of the Yokosuka Line, it moved to its current location. According to a survey conducted in 1950, a name tag was found from the womb's womb that was the main lord of Iozan Tokoji Temple in Nikaido. The name of the old town (from the Uomachi Bridge and Sakakawa Bridge in Omachi to the former Hachiman area of ​​the Timber Theater) is said to be “Kashiwacho”. This is because there was an intersection (Omachi Yotsukado) with "Car Oji" and "Komachi Oji". Currently, Yakushido is maintained by the members of the neighborhood association of Omachi Sakaimachi. Gassho.

I was surprised that in such a place, there are Yakushi Nyorai, which is said to be a late Heian period work, and a Buddhist image that is also of historical value. You can understand it well if you read the explanation beside the temple. When you make a change, the light will be on for a while. I watched my figure well and worshiped.
