History

In 739, Gyōki carved a statue of Shō Kannon Bosatsu and enshrined it in a building here. Later, Kūkai came here and prayed for a safe and succesful trip to China and conducted a fire ritual for seven nights. When he returned to Japan, he gave thanks for what he achieved in China and raised a memorial tower. The East Gate was moved here from Ritsurin Garden. [Provided by Shikoku Japan 88 Route Guide]
