[Historical]

"The Jizo Bodhisattva enshrined in this temple、It is said that it was discovered in the soil during the construction of the Sumida River embankment during the Cultural Year (1804-1818).。At first the children of the village、It seems that the portable shrine was carrying this Jizo instead.。
In this Jizo、There is the following folklore。One day、An incident occurred in which a couple hired by Uekiya Heisaku, who has lived in this area for a long time, was killed in a rice field along the river.。I didn't know the culprit right away、It is said that this Jizo told the name of the criminal by the mouth of a child in the village.。So Hirasaku、Jizo is enshrined in this area and is now a memorial service in the morning and evening.。
after that、When the 11th Shogun Tokugawa Ienari came to falconry and took a break at Hirasaku's house in April 1832.、I heard the origin of this Jizo and worshiped。Hirasaku、To commemorate this, if you build a Mido and enshrine the Jizo、People all worshiped。It seems that a spiritual test appeared when praying for good luck in childbirth, eye diseases and other illnesses.。At that time, Hirasaku Jizo or Shio Jizo、It was also called Koiku Jizo by various names.。
The slope in front of Mido、1911 (Meiji 44)、After the embankment construction、Until now, it has been known as "Jizo-zaka".。
The origin monument built in 1933 and the memorial tower for the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Mido、Calligrapher from the local、It was created by Yasushi Nishikawa (Recipient of the Order of Culture).。
