Kyoto, Rokuharamitsu-ji Temple, Rokuhara Benzaiten, Money Amulet, Amulet, Talisman Approximately 5.5 x 10 cm This is a talisman from Rokuhara Benzaiten in Kyoto. [About Rokuharamitsu-ji Temple] Shingon sect, Chizan school. The principal image is Eleven-faced Kannon. The founder (established) was Master Kuya Shonin (son of Emperor Daigo). It is the 17th temple on the Saigoku Pilgrimage. The name comes from the Buddhist doctrine "Rokuharamitsu" (Six Paramitas). It began as a dojo (Saiko-ji Temple) with Eleven-faced Kannon as the principal image, created by Kuya, who is known for his "dancing nembutsu." After Kuya's death, the monk Chushin of Mt. Hiei revived it and renamed it a Tendai branch temple (Rokuharamitsu-ji Temple). It later became a branch temple of the Shingon sect Chishaku-in. Nearby were the residences of the Taira clan, including Taira no Kiyomori (called Rokuhara-dono). Also, the Rokuhara Tandai (a government office established by the Kamakura Shogunate) was located nearby. There is some dirt on the storage bag and slight yellowing on the back of the amulet. It has been priced lower accordingly. It is unused but has been stored. The storage bag will be slightly folded and sent via mini-letter.
