Bando Sanjusankannon History
Once upon a time, the eastern part of Mt. Ashigara and the slopes of Hakone, a shelter for travelers, was called Bando, and the warriors of Bando advanced to Kyushu during the Genpei War.
After the battle of Genpei, memorial services for both enemies and allies and prayers for long-term peace became popular, and Minamoto no Yoritomo's deep faith in Kannon and the feelings of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage that many warriors saw in the West In connection with this, the Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage Site was opened in the early Kamakura period.
Eventually, it developed into the 100 Kannon Sacred Grounds of Japan with the addition of the 34 Kannon Sacred Grounds of Chichibu, and continues to this day.
For more information,"History of Bando Fudasho"Please refer to the.
Connection with Emperor Kazan
It is written that Emperor Kazan visited about ten sacred sites of the Bando Fudasho and was designated as a Fudasho.
For example, in "Sugimotodera Engi" written in the third year of Eiroku (1560), "In the spring of the second year of Eien, there is also a decree of the Pope's royal court, and this mountain is designated as Bando No. From my husband to the present, I have always been a tribute to you. "
Also, written by Ryomori Samon during the Edo period. "Bando Kannon Sacred Ground"When Emperor Kazan visited Yamato Hasedera Temple and prayed for Akatsuki, an old priest in Kaori appeared and said, "I have not appeared in 33 places in Bando Hachishu. It is also written that he was told that he and the Buddhist priest of Ishikawaji Temple should start a Bando pilgrimage with him and lead all the moral men and women. "
What can be said from these materials is that Bando Sanjusan was sought after by Emperor Kazan, and he believed in that tradition at least until the Edo period. However, in historical fact, it is hard to believe that Emperor Kazan was sent down to the Kanto region, and it can be said that this was intended to give authority to the temple, just as in the case of the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage.
In addition, it can be said that this way of thinking shows that the Bando Fudasho itself was forever imitated by the Saigoku Fudasho. Bando Fudasho is one of the so-called local transplants of Saigoku Fudasho.
What is "KAKEJIKU"? -The Japanese Hanging Scroll- and how to enjoy them?
KAKEJIKU is traditionally displayed in TOKONOMA(an alcove in traditional Japanese room).
They maily display for their guests and for carrying out the seasonal events.
So why don't you have a few and try changing them depends on the guests, seasons and even for your feelings!
Modern Japanese houses even don't have a TOKONOMA, so less and less people are displaying them these days.
It is a shame that people forget about KAKEJIKU.
However it is more important to actually display, respect and enjoy in your own ways rather than following all the traditional ways.
You can enjoy freely and display in just like any ways!!
