Old Kamakura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized in Kamakura County, Sagami Province, in the Edo Period. Due to the movement to abolish Buddhism early in the Meiji Period, some member temples were abolished and the old pilgrimage declined during the period. In the Taisho Period, New Kamakura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized within Kamakura City. After paying a courtesy visit to Tsurugaoka-Hachiman-gu Shrine, I walked eastward out of the precincts. A couple of blocks later, I found a signpost to show my way to the grave of Minamoto Yoritomo (1147-1199), at the foot of which there used to be Hokke-do Temple, my essentially first call today. Technically speaking, Yoritomoâs body was supposed to have been buried under the hall of Hokke-do Temple. The tombstone we see today was built in the Edo Period by the Shimazu Shigehide (1745-1833).
Old Kamakura 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #8 Hokke-do Temple Minamoto Yoritomo (1147-1199), the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate, enshrined his guardian Buddhist image, the Amitabha statue, in Hokke-do Temple. After his death on January 13, 1199, his body was buried in the temple, presumably under it. The Buddhist ceremony for the first anniversary of his death was held in the temple. On May 2nd, 1217, when Wada Yoshimori (1147-1213) attacked the palace of Minamoto Sanetomo (1192-1219), the third Shogun, Sanetomo escaped to Hokke-do Temple. The battle lasted for 2 days, and Yoshimori was finally killed by a subject of Edo Yoshinori at twilight on the 3rd. On June 5th, 1247, when Miura Yasumura (1184-1247) lost to the Hojo Clan, he and 500 of his family members, relatives, and subjects committed suicide in the temple. In 1872, the temple was abolished due to the Gods and Buddhas Separation Order issued by the Meiji Restoration Government in 1868. The statue of Cintamanicakra, who usually has 6 arms and holds chintamani (a wish-fulfilling jewel) in one of the six, was moved to Raigo-ji Temple nearby. Whose wishes had the...
