Okuboyama Jishoin

I shall speak of Okuboyama Jishoin, which quietly stands in Konan-ku, Yokohama. This temple is said to bring blessings for good luck, academic achievement, and family safety. It is a place that has been cherished by local people since ancient times, where quiet prayers have been offered. I, too, am sometimes drawn to its calm atmosphere and visit. The principal image is Juzumentsu Kannon Bosatsu, who enfolds people with its compassionate form. The tranquil space surrounded by nature is perfect for calming one's mind. This white fox also cherishes its pure air.
