Once upon a time, there was a large weaving shop where many servants worked late into the night.Every night, a great monk would appear in front of the window of this weaving shop, which caused an uproar throughout the house.One night I shot him with a gun.I felt a solid response, so I went right away and found there was no shadow or shape.The family members, completely exhausted, stayed awake and waited until dawn to investigate. When they found blood on the ground, they followed it and found it had disappeared in the garden of Kannon-in Temple.

One night, Jizo appeared in the dream pillow of the owner of this house and said, ``The reason I stand outside your house every night is to protect your house.I am standing in the open air.'' Therefore, there is no faith among the masses.I want you to build a temple to protect the large number of people.If you make a wish on a set number of days, your wish will definitely come true.''The owner immediately told the villagers about this, and with the donations of many people, the temple was moved to its current location and a lively memorial service and prayers were held.Strangely enough, it is said that the remains of a gun ball remain on the Jizo's shoulder.Anyone can obtain the blessings of the Hijiri Jizo statue through sincere faith.
