Negoro-jiHistory and origin of
A temple with beautiful autumn leaves nestled along Aominezan, one of the Goshikidai. It is said that Kobo Daishi, who sensed the Vajradhatu mandala of Five Dhyani Buddhas established the Kezouin in Aominezan for esoteric Buddhism training. When Chisho-daishi made a visit, he carved Senjū Kannon out of a sacred tree from a divine revelation of the deity enshrined at Hie Shrine and enshrined this at the Senjuin. This sacred tree was an aromatic tree continuing to emit a sweet fragrance so the two temples are given a generic name and called Negoro-ji. The Senjū Kannon is a treasured Buddhist statue that is only unveiled once every 33 years.
