https://gokurakuparadies.blogspot.jp/2017/03/gofunai-temples-48-and-49.html

Gofunai temples 48 and 49

This temple was founded in 1362 by 恵尊法印 high priest Eson.
The main statue is 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O.
Related to the temple 宝仙寺 Hosen-Ji

It was the family temple of the 伊藤氏 Ito clan from 上沼袋村 Kami-Numabukuro village, and is therefore also called
Itooji 伊藤寺 Ito-Ji "Temple of the Ito Family".
It was relocated to its present place in 1883.
The temple burned down during World War II and was rebuilt in 1969. The temple gate still shows black marks from the fires of the war.

The main statue is 多宝如来 Taho Nyorai.

Tahō Nyorai 多宝如来 Prabhuta Ratna プラブータ・ラトナ

- quote -
Prabhūtaratna
(Skt: प्रभूतरत्न; Traditional Chinese: 多寶; Simplified Chinese: 多宝;
Japanese: 多宝如来 Tahō Nyorai), translated as
Abundant Treasures or Many Treasures, is the Buddha who appears and verifies Shakyamuni's teachings in the Lotus Sutra and the Samantabhadra Meditation Sutra.
..... according to Robert Buswell, "Prabhūtaratna (Many Treasures) invites Shakyamuni to sit beside him inside his bejeweled stūpa, thus validating the teachings Shakyamuni delivered in the scripture."
Thich Nhat Hanh states
that Prabhūtaratna symbolizes "the ultimate Buddha" and Shakyamuni "the historical Buddha"; the two Buddhas sitting together signifies the non-duality of the ultimate and the historical, that at a given moment in the real world, one can touch the ultimate.
According to Nichiren,
in their interaction Shakyamuni and Many Treasures agreed to the perpetuation of the Law throughout the Latter Day.

- quote -
Michizō Tachihara 立原道造 Tachihara Michizō
(July 30, 1914 - March 29, 1939) was a Japanese poet and architect.
He died at age 24 from tuberculosis, before either career could seriously get under way. Michizō struggled to find a way for an urban poet to root himself in traditional customs and still be "modern."

Though a citizen of Tokyo, Michizō would rarely mention modern urban scenes in his work. Aside from several references to cars, Michizō chose to describe a vegetable, not a mineral realm. He described trains as vehicles of escape, rescuing him from being cooped up in his architectural ofﬁce.
The natural landscapes of the Shinano Highlands
provided an endless parade of conventional imagery that Michizō would use in his work; such as birds, clouds, ﬂowers, grasses, mountains, skies, trees, and wind. A sizable part of his poetry used poetic impulse, often causing his work to be labelled as "sentimental". He wrote openly about his feelings and expressed what was in his heart, allowing his verse to be both uncontaminated and genuine.

- 萬徳山 Mantokuzan　聖宝院 Shobo-In　弥勒寺 Miroku-Ji
墨田区立川1-4-13 / 1 Chome-4-13 Tatekawa, Sumida ward

This temple was founded in 1610 by 宥鑁法印 priest Yuban Hoin.
The main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai - Kawakami Yakushi　川上薬師, dedicated by
徳川光圀 Tokugawa Mitsukuni.
The statue was once venerated in a temple in the Hitachi domain of Mitsukuni. When the temple was raided by religious adversaries, the statue was thrown into the river 那珂川 Nakagawa by Mitsukuni, but instead of floating downriver, it moved upriver (kawakami) for a few kilometers to safety. Thus it became a favorite of Mitsukuni.

. Tokugawa Mitsukuni - 水戸黄門 Mito Komon .

The temple was a sub-temple of 醍醐寺三宝院 Daigo-Ji, Sanbo-In in Kyoto.
Now it is a sub-temple of 根来寺 Negoro-Ji.

The temple was first founded in 小石川鷹匠町 Koishikawa Takajomachi and moved to 本所 Honjo in 1689 to become an important, large temple with many sub-temples.
Near it are popular Inari shrines, 元徳稲荷 Gentoku Inari and 徳山稲荷 Tokuyama Inari.
It also had various sub-temples, but nowadays only three of then, 徳上院 Tokujo-In, 法樹院 Hoju-In
and 龍光院 Ryuko-In belong to it.
Nowadays if is famous for its regular sermons, which are delivered in a humorous, unique fashion.

- quote -
Sugiyama Waichi 杉山和一 / 杉山検校 Sugiyama Kengyo (1614–1694)
was a Japanese acupuncturist, widely regarded as the "Father of Japanese Acupuncture".

An eye-disease in infancy blinded Sugiyama from a very early age. At the age of ten he moved from Kyoto to Edo (Tokyo) to study massage and other therapeutic techniques under Ryomei Irie, one of the most famous medical practitioners of the era. His apprenticeship was short; Irie quickly dismissing him as "dull". On his way back to Kyoto, Sugiyama fasted and prayed for 100 days at the shrine of the goddess Benzaiten at Enoshima Cave, where he reputedly discovered the secret of the shinkan ("insertion tube") after pricking himself on a needle wrapped in a leaf.
His development of the shinkan,
combined with his use of extremely fine gold and silver needles, allowed for comparatively painless acupuncture, and resulted in considerable expansion of the art; for this reason he is often referred to as the "father of Japanese acupuncture". He started around forty-five schools teaching massage and acupuncture to other blind people, resulting in the prevalent association in Japan between blindness and physical therapy. After Sugiyama effected a cure for a neurotic disease afflicting shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi his work received official state endorsement, which greatly increased the popularity of his schools.

Sugiyama's grave
can be found in the graveyard of the Miroku-Temple in Tokyo (Sumida-ku).
Sugiyama's teachings
were recorded by his disciples and printed for the first time in 1880: Ryōji no taigaishū, Senshin no yōshū, and Igaku setsuyōshū.

Nr. 47 - Jookanji 城官寺 Jokan-Ji

- 平塚山 Hiratsukazan　安楽院 Anraku-In　城官寺 Jokan-Jii
北区上中里1-42-8 / 1 Chome-42-8 Kaminakazato, Kita ward
Shingon Sect : 豊山派
Named after doctor 山川城官貞久 Yamakawa Jokan Shokyu.

The date of its founding is unclear.
The main statue is 阿弥陀如来 Amida Nyorai.
The statue is made from shaku sendan 赤栴檀 red Chinaberry Bead Tree, Melia azedarach wood and about 30 cm high. It was made by 毘首羯摩 Bishu Katsuma.
(Bishu Katsuma, Visvakarman, is the name of a Hindu Deity, the presiding deity of all Vishwakarma (caste), engineers, priests artisans and architects.)

The temple is related to the Shrine 平塚明神社 / 平塚神社 Hiratsuka Jinja.
Its former name was Anrakuji 安楽寺 Anraku-Ji.

The doctor 山川城官貞久 Yamakawa Jokan Shokyu (1596 - 1615), who attended to the third Shogun
将軍家光 Tokugawa Iemitsu, came to Hiratsuka Jinja to pray for the healing of his patient. His grave is in the compound and his name Jokan became the name of the temple.

.......................................................................

In the compound are also graves of other Shogunal doctors of the 多紀桂山一族 Taki Keizan family.
The father of Keizan, 藍渓 Taki Kankei, served as Shogunal doctor from 1772 to 1781 and also held the title 法印 Hoin of a high Buddhist priest. He produced a lot of medicine and tried to educate more doctors in his academy. Keizan followed in the footsteps of his father. He received the title of 医官 Ikan (now maybe Health Minister) and also Hoin. He retired around 1812. In his later years he wrote books about medicine.
His son, 多紀元堅 Taki Kengen (1795 - 1857) also became official Ikan and treated all the people of Edo, regardless of their social status, from the rich Samurai class to the lowly poor. He even distributed his own money to the very poor.
