The founder is Minamoto no Yoshiie 源義家 (1039 - 1106) and the temple is now dedicated to Kobo Daishi Kukai.

この珠は希世之珍 宝中之仙である是を以って鎭となさば 則ち武運長久 法燈永く明かならん.
The deity then changed into a white fox and disappeared.
This is the origin of the name of this temple.

Karasuyama teramachi 烏山寺町 Karasuyama Temple Town

からすやま寺町の歌 - The song of Karasuyama Temple Town
- reference source : www.youtube.com -

- quote -
The Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 brought a virtual tidal wave of displaced refugees, and a flotilla of temples as well. Setagaya's population nearly doubled, and Teramachi, or "temple town," near Chitose-Karasuyama, offered land on which 26 temples damaged in the quake were rebuilt.
A variety of Buddhist sects are represented, and one temple, Senkoji, sequesters the grave site of world-renowned ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro.
The hush over the area is eerie beyond words.

Gofunai 御府内八十八ヶ所霊場 88 Henro Temples in Edo
Go-Funai 88kasho - Visiting 88 Temples in the Lord's City
Junrei - Pilgrimage in the central area of Tokyo
- Introduction -



This pilgrimage was established in 1755 by 正等和尚 Shoto Osho (1703-1774).
His grave is at the temple Nr. 31, 多聞院 Tamon-In.

Gofunai or 府内 Funai referred to the part of Edo that was under the jurisdiction of the machibugyoo 江戸町奉行 city magistrate. Fukagawa, Itabashi, Shinagawa, Honjo, Senju and Yotsuya were included.

Jippensha Ikku 十返舎一九 (1765–1831) mentiones this pilgrimage as　東都大師巡八十八箇所. He wrote that many people start a pilgrimage to seek healing from an illness or pray to stay healthy until the day they have to die, so as not to become a burden to their family.
Like watching Kabuki theater, going to a pilgrimage in Edo became a kind of hobby for the rich. It is also a way for bereaved people to try and cope with the loss of a loved one.

After the Meiji restoration, earthquakes and fires some temples were relocated outside ofthe central area, to make room for the modern city development.
Therefore the temples are now located here and there in Tokyo.

It is only important to start the pilgrimage at temple number 01 and end at temple number 88.

- quote -
Sumako Matsui 松井須磨子 Matsui Sumako (November 1, 1886 – January 5, 1919)
was a Japanese actress and singer. Born as Masako Kobayashi in Matsushiro, Nagano, Nagano Prefecture as the fifth daughter and last of nine children of Tohta Kobayashi, she was adopted by the Hasegawa family in Ueda at the age of six and in 1900 graduated Ueda school. She had to return to her birth family after her adopted father died, however in the year of her return, her natural father also died. At the age of 17 she moved to Tokyo.
She married in 1903 at the arrangement of relatives but divorced within a year.
In 1908 she married Seisuke Maezawa from the same country village and in 1909 joined Shoyo Tsubouchi's newly established theatre group only to divorce Maezawa the following October 1910.
Matsui first became famous in 1911 for her portrayal of Nora in A Doll's House. In 1913 after establishing the Geijutsu-za theatre troupe with the shingeki director Hogetsu Shimamura, she became an acclaimed actress thanks to her performance in the role of Katusha in Tolstoy's Resurrection (translated by Shimamura). "Katyusha's song", written by Shinpei Nakayama, which she sang in the film, became a huge hit selling over 20,000 copies at the time. This was said to be the first ryūkōka song.
After Shimamura died of the Spanish flu on November 5, 1918, she committed suicide by hanging on January 5, 1919.
It was Matsui's wish
to be buried alongside Shimamura, with whom she had been having an affair. However, her wish was not to be granted and her grave lies with her family in her hometown of Matsushiro.
Remains are also buried in the Tamon-In Temple in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
