According to temple tradition, during the K\u014dnin era (810\u2013824), when K\u014db\u014d Daishi was training in the remote Akagaya, Kumano Gongen appeared and bestowed upon him a gold Kannon statue measuring 1 sun 8 bu (approximately 5 cm). K\u014db\u014d Daishi carved a life-sized Senju Kannon from a sacred tree with three bows of respect, placed a relic of the Buddha within its hair, and after enshrining the gold Kannon statue in its womb, built a hall to house it. The main deity was lost in a fire in Showa 2 (1927) along with the main hall, and the current main deity was established in Showa 45 (1970) and is enshrined in a storehouse behind the main hall.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":217418,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-287971","travelpost","type-travelpost","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spot"],"blocksy_meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/287971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/travelpost"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/travelpost\/287971\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.allway-japan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
