Precinct information

Origin of Atago Jizo Takatsuka

▼ Starting with Gyoki
A thousand two hundred years ago, in the 12th year of Tenpyo, a great monk named Gyoki took the life of Emperor Shōmu and traveled around the country of Chikushi.
On his way home, he was in Sugihara, Kurisato-mura, via Hita-gun, Bungo, and looked at the green east-west terrain. It must be the emergent spirit ground of the Great Great People who save the troubles of the country and the people."
Gyoki was then arrived at this Takatsuka no-sato through Iwamatsugahana (present-day Kuramagata-o in Amaze-cho).

▼ Golden light in the Icho
One night when I was thinking of Jizō Bodhisattva in the mountains, I suddenly saw three balls of golden light on the middle side of a large public tree rising to the east and south. Gyoki was surprised and continued to pray with all his heart that my prayer was a sign that reached Jizō Bodhisattva.
Even when the night is white, the light of the ball can't keep up. Gyoki is looking at his squire, and one, when he climbs a large tree of Icho, one of the three was a jewel in the shape of a breast.

▼ Gyoki Bodhisattva was carved by himself
Gyoki, who gave a jewel and descended to the ground, immediately carved a one-piece Jizo Bodhisattva with his own fleas, and told the foster people, "If you pray to the jewel, Jizo Bodhisattva with a heart of a heart, all things will flourish, let's give it all the benefits."
Later, the great tree of Icho was called "milk ginko" (), and during its long history, it has attracted the reverence of people as a spirit tree that endures child treasures, a spirit tree that bums breast milk, and a spirit tree that can fulfill the healthy growth of children.

▼ Built a palace in memory of the virtues of Gyoki Bodhisattva
Gyoki died on February 2, 2000, at the age of eighty-two. It was the beginning of "Takatsuka Atago Jizoson" that in February of the sixth year of the year, the foster families who remembered Gyoki's Imperial Bettedness built a small mido on the other side of the Great Icho, and enshrined Gyoki's Kizanka Jizō.
