Koogenji, Kōgenji 光源寺 Kogen-Ji - Mukogaoka
天昌山 Tenshozan 松翁院 Matsuo-In 光源寺 Kogenji

文京区向丘2-38-22 / Tokyo, Bunkyo ward, Mukogaoka

駒込大観音 Komagome Dai Kannon / こまごめおおがんのん Oo-Kannon / 十一面観音像

The main statue is 阿弥陀如 Amida Nyorai.

The temple was founded in 1589 by 仙石秀久 Sengoku Hidehisa (1552 - 1614).
The Kannon Statue was carved on request of the rich merchant 丸屋吉兵衛 Maruya Yoshibei,
who had been on a pilgrimage to the Hasedera temple in Nara and wanted a similar large statue in Edo.
During the great earthquakes in 1855 and 1923 the temple hall was destroyed,
but the statue of Kannon was safe.
In 1945 on May 24 the temple and the statue were destroyed by the air raid.
After the war, a small statue of Kannon was placed on the old stone pedestal
but the people called it 駒込大観音 The Big Kannon of Komagome.
In 1993, the original large statue of Kannon was reconstructed.

ubume no yuurei 産女の幽霊 the ghost of a woman giving birth
Once in the evening someone knocked at the door of 飴屋 the sweet vendor.
When he opened, there was a young woman with a baby in her arms.
She bought some sweets and left.
She came every evening now and one night the owner followed her. They came to a well at a crossroads,
wher the woman drew some water, diluted the sweets and gave the water to her baby.
Then she went on to the graveyard of the temple 光源寺 Kogen-Ji, where she disappeared.
When they checked, they found a baby alive in her grave.

reimu 霊夢 a sacred dream
江戸の光源寺の境内にある稲荷に詣でた折に、めずらしい面を見つけた。家に帰ってもその面のことが気になっていたら、妻が不思議な夢を見たという。稲荷で工事が行われるので面が粗末にされない様持って帰るようにとのことだった。急いで光源寺に行ってみると、確かに工事中で、古い絵馬を積み上げた上に、くだんの面がのせてあった。妻の見た夢は神のお告げと思って、その面を持ち帰り、家の守護神としてまつった。望みがあって祈ると、非常に霊験あらたかであった。
