En’no-ji Temple

En’no-ji Temple

This statue of King Enma was carved in 1250 and was initially situated on a mountain in front of the Hase Kannon. After the fated downfall of the Kamakura Shogunate, Ashikaga Takauji moved it to the left, facing the sea at the Ichino-torii gate, to mourn the departed souls of Yuhigahama, the site of the decisive battle. The temple was again damaged by a major earthquake during the Genroku era (1688-1704), and was moved to its present location. The Ten Kings of Ennoji Temple, centering on King Yama, depict the judgment of those who were condemned to hell for their sins during their lifetime. The temple is still widely worshipped as a Jizo temple.
