Kosokuji Kamakura

Kosokuji Kamakura - Kosokuji was built in the year 1278 and one of the oldest in Kamakura. It was founded by Saku Adjoin, a Buddhist priest of the Shingen sect but when he came to Kamakura he changed his sect to Jishu, a relatively minor sect devoted to Nembutsu. The temple’s principle image is that of Amida Nyorai - enshrined with Kannon and Amida Buddha. Kosoku-ji is the 7th temple of the Kamakura 33 Kannon Sacred Grounds.
