Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, when I took a walk in Kodemmacho, I stopped by Minobu Betsuin.
The Nichiren Shonin seated statue (Tangible Cultural Property designated by Tokyo) whose eyes are made of crystals is famous.
Actually, there are a lot of other interesting things.
Therefore, I would like to introduce the charm of Minobu Betsuin, which makes you want to stop by in two separate sessions.



This time, I'll cover "Daikokuten Oil Spilling".
At the Flower Festival, sweet tea is poured into Historical Buddha, and you are here in Daikokuten, where you can oil anytime throughout the year....
I was worried about it, and looked it up



[I say] ※There are various theories.
In Fushimi, Kyoto, there is a town called "Aburake Town", which in the past, an oil merchant accidentally poured oil on a stone statue on the roadside.
Since then, there has been a legend that business has prospered greatly.
Mrs. Shige of Showa's famous actor Kazuo Hasegawa from Fushimi is deeply dependent on Shinto and Buddha.
Shortly after the war, I accidentally dreamed of this oiled Tenjin as a dream.
I was told by patron saint of academics that I would worship in Tokyo and connect with many people.
head priest Nichijo Fujii of Minobu Betsuin at the time.
I decided to worship at Minobu Betsuin.

Prosperity of business, good luck, safe delivery



There are not many shrines and temples that worship the oiled Daikokuten even when viewed nationwide.
When you come near, why don't you pray for Daikokuten with oil?
