伊賀市下神戸5 / Iga city, Shimokobe

The main statue is 阿弥陀如来 Amida Nyorai.

- Chant of the temple
なうまく　さまんだ　ぼだなん　さんさく　そわか

The temple was founded by 右馬允入道仏光坊 Uma Nyudo Butsuko-Bo.
During the first 第一次天正伊賀の乱 Tensho Iga Rebellion the Iga Ninja attacked the mountain castle.
During the second 第二次天正伊賀の乱 Rebellion they burned the castle.
In the large compound of the Temple are 本堂 the main hall,
the 山門 Mountain Gate, the 鐘楼 Bell tower and more buildings.
Behind the Temple is a mountain, below are the rivers 岐川比自 Hijiki and 長田川 Nagata (木津川 Kizugawa).
In the North-East are the remains of 財良寺 the Temple Zaira-Ji.
The priest 行然和尚 Gyozen Osho was born in 1222 in the 三田庄 Mita Hamlet
and became a temple acolyte at the age of 17.
He studied Buddhism in Nara and Kyoto and later named this Temple 天童山 Tendo-Zan.
In 1391, records show that the temple was also related to the Temple 西大寺 Saidai-Ji in Nara
and to the Temple 唐招提寺 Toshodai-Ji.

- quote
Shinobi no Sato
Walking through the Ninja Village, one is enveloped in a strange landscape.
The landscape, surrounded by similar small hills, goes on and on,
luring you into a labyrinth-like interior.
The villages are scattered around the foot of the hills,
and the houses are blocked by small valleys, making it difficult to see the houses.
From the air, the complex valley landscape looks as if it is finely divided into many branches.
This unique topography was created by the erosion of the clay layer
called "Ko-Biwa-ko Formation" 3 million years ago.
At the tip of a hill with a good view or at the entrance of a valley,
there are always the ruins of castles, which are not stone walls
but rather piled up earth and surrounded on all sides by earthen mounds about 50 meters high.
There are as many as 800 of them in Iga and Koga,
making it one of Japan's most densely populated areas of castle buildings.
The reason for this appearance can be traced to the organization of the ninja.

e 絵 an image
at 興禅寺 Temple Kozen-Ji
At the wooden door made of a cedar tree there was an image
of an old woman pulling a mortar, and an old man standing near her.
Sometimes at night the two began to talk and there were strange noises in the room.
There were also images of musical instruments, which seemd to make sound at night.
It was all very strange and scary, so the doors were finally painted all black.
