Tatsue-jiHistory and origin of
This temple is said to be the "Shikoku no sousekisho" (overall checkpoint of Shikoku) and to be the root dojo of the eighty-eight places in Shikoku, and is also known as "Awa no sekisho" (Awa checkpoint). Gyoki Bosatsu, praying for the safe delivery of Empress Kōmyō, carved a small golden Enmei Jizo Bosatsu and made this the principal image. Afterwards, when Kobo Daishi made a visit, he carved a new and larger Enmei Jizo Bosatsu and placed the principal image in this womb. It is popularly known as "Koyasu no jizozon" (safe delivery jizo) and "Tatsue no jizosan" (Tatsue's jizo). In the middle ages it was in the vicinity of the inner shrine at Kiyomizu-dera but by the order of the founder feudal lord Iemasa Hachisuka, moved to the present location.
