Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Nagoya Osu Kannon

Mon, May 13, 2019, by Muza-chan
The Kitanosan Shinpuku-ji Hosho-in, also known as Ōsu Kannon Temple, was originally a Shinto shrine dedicated to Tenjin, god of education. Originally built in the Hashima city in Gifu, it was moved to Nagoya and it is today a temple belonging to the Shingon Buddhist sect. However, the temple's kamon is the plum blossom, the symbol of Tenjin, visible in this photo on the temple's banners.
