History

An old man suggested that Kūkai ride on the back of a cow and, after a while, they came upon a camphor tree in which there was a jewel (hōshu) that Kūkai had thrown from China. In this tree, Kūkai carved a Dainichi Nyorai statue, placed the jewel between its eyes, and constructed a temple. At first, people came to pray for prosperity at home, but lately many people visit here in memory of lost pets. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
