    Notes & Remarks

    ■ Jizo Bosatsu statue Hon Jizo-son is a memorial Buddha (protected principal image) of the first generation of Daishi who was carved 1200 years ago, and was enshrined in Sakamoto Village, Shiga Prefecture after the death of Daishi. On March 23, 1587 (1587), the first priest of Toyama was invited to the temple next to Zensoji Sanmon. It is also called mud-foot Jizo or sweat-out Jizo. If you pray to this Jizo-son, if you have a difficult birth, Jizo will sweat like a ball and take on the suffering of pregnant women. It is also called "Mud Foot Jizo" because it was planted on behalf of a believer and was full of mud. ■ Stone Buddha Amida Nyorai Stone Buddha is said to be granite and Akaishi of Shirakawa. The time when the stone is used for stone Buddhas is limited, and it is said that it is from the end of Heian to the early Kamakura period more than 800 years ago. The Amida Buddha with a height of 1.6m and a thickness of 70cm sits on the pedestal with a large light back of natural stones, with a height of 90cm, is full of tight mercy, solid, stable, and calm Mida stone Buddha. It is said that this stone Buddha was located around a nearby old pond, but it seems that the stone Buddha was buried in the soil to escape damage caused by the war. This place 800 years ago is the place of Shijo Goin (the residence after the abdication of the Emperor), as shown in the ancient map of the late Heian period, reminiscent of the prosperity of the Pure Land religion. ■ Kyoto Sumo's last monument to Yokozuna's grave The Yokozuna and Kabutogata, who were loved by the emperors of Takaaki and Meiji eras, who were the leading Kyoto sumo wrestlers at that time, came to the Imperial Court by calling and accompanied him to his visit and devoted himself to national affairs. In response to Emperor Komei's words, 'It's better to wear the helmet lagoon and the tower,' the story that he was granted imperial permission for the tower became a story. Kyoto Sumo had a total of more than 450 people around Meiji 6 and 7. Kabutogata was concerned about the declining end of Kyoto sumo wrestling in Tokyo and Osaka, and made efforts to establish a sumo association as a base for being loved by the people, and when he took the first step, he had to leave this world. Many of the other presidents and caretakers were obsessed with the current situation and did not solve his ideals, Kyoto Sumo eventually declined. ■ Monument to Kadoikebo Keidai Iemoto no Tomb At Zenso-ji Temple, the 32nd second generation teacher (Tencho) was enshrined in this cemetery in 1658 (1658), and from 1908 (1908) to the 42nd senseishi in 1908 (1908). Is enshrined.
