Holiday travel online : Hase-Kannon Temple, Japan picture.
The traditional story of the origins of this temple states that in 721, the pious monk Tokudou discovered a camphor tree, from which he carved two images of Kannon (deities). The Kannon sculpted from the lower half of the camphor tree was enshrined in Hase-dera in the province of Yamato. The other was set adrift in the sea to find the place that it had a karmic connection with. The statue washed ashore on Nagai Beach on the Miura Peninsula near Kamakura in the year 736 and was brought to Kamakura where a temple was built to honor it.Related themes: Buddha · Hase-Kannon Temple · Buddhism · Buddhist · Camphor · Carved · Deities · Deity · Dera · God · Hase · Japan · travel Asia · Japanese · Kamakura · Kannon · Legend · Statue · Temple · Travel · Wood · Wooden · Yamato
