Oohirayama, Temple Konpira-In 大平山 金毘羅院
Ohirayama
This small temple in Kurayoshi is famous for the statue of a Kannon Bosatsu which prevents dementia in the elderly. It is of course becoming more and more important in present-day Japan. The old priest told me that even folk from Hokkaido come visiting here to pray for their old age.
Here is the original statue in the temple garden.
Look at the photos from here . . .
