Temple 87 長尾寺 Nagao-Ji

- quote
Nagaoji Temple is often called “O Kannon-san.” In front of the main gate is buried a pair of hand-copied sutras ,which are designated as Important National Cultural Properties and tell the tale of this temple, which has flourished since the Kamakura period. Also, there is a famous story in which Shizuka Gozen, following the death of her husband (the famous warrior Yoshitsune), returned here to her hometown with her mother, Iso no Zenji, so that they both could become Buddhist nuns. Memorializing this story here is a burial monument in which is said to be kept a lock of Shizuka’s hair, which was taken when she took the tonsure.
