時空の旅わくわく日記

Rokkakudo ↑（ 2020 年 6 月 20 日、世田谷、東京）

　初めて世田谷観音を訪問しました。
　参道を進み、仁王門をくぐると右手に、三層の建物、阿弥陀堂がありました。
　屋根に鳳凰の飾りがあります。
　京都の二条城から移築した建物だそうです。
　参道の左手には、六角堂があります。
堂内には、康円（運慶の孫）作の不動明王ならびに八大童子（国重要文化財）が奉安されています。

I came upon Setagaya Kannon the other day when I was walking around its neighborhood.
It was my first visit and I found buildings there such as Amidao and Rkkakudo were interesting.

【 Bon appétit ! 】
In May 1955, the two Special Attack Peace Kannon (Buddhist Goddess of Mercy) were moved to Setagaya Kannon Temple in Setagaya Ward of Tokyo City. The two kannon statues were just in remembrance of men who died in aerial special (suicide) attacks during the Pacific War, but later this was expanded to include special attacks by watercraft. There is a plaque in front of the Special Attack Kannon Hall that is engraved in both Japanese and English.
