Description
English: In Japan, many people are often visiting shrines and temples where "Seven Gods for our happiness" are deified. This temple is one of Tokyo's. The name means Hoteison God for Wisdom.

A god which brings wealth, tolerance, long life, and happiness. 5 daibutsus, a colossal Buddha called "Ooi no oobotoke", stands in front of it's shrine inside.

Located about 15-minute walk from the JR line Nishi Oi Station, the temple, which was founded in Takanawa, 1706 by the order by Shogen Jizobo in Fukagawa Edo with much donations by thousands people in Edo.

While Shogen had prayed for recovery his diseases, he became well, then he ordered to construct the Jizos like Kyoto Roku Jizos, the six Jizos in Kyoto.

The caster, Fujiwara Masayoshi of Ota Suruga-no-kami in Kandanabe-cho constructed them. Their heights are about 270cm. First , they were guild with gold. The second Jizo in Tozen-ji Temple was coated by Bengal, there are few marks on them. And there were some small seated statues of jizo and lists of the contributors in each Jizo. And also there are carved names on them and on their lotus pedestal, so the total of them were over 72000.

Edo Roku Jizos stands in the six temples. Shinagawa-ji in Sinagawa, Tozen-ji in Asakusa, Taiso-ji in Shinjyuku, Sinsho-ji in Sugamo, Reigan-ji in Sirakawa and Eitai-ji in Tomioka. The Jizo in Eitai-ji was stood near the second Torii in Tomioka-hachimangu, but Eitai-ji was ruined due to the anti-Buddhist movement in Meiji era 1868, so the Jizos disappeared.

Nowadays, the five Jizos of the six are designated by Tokyo Metropolitan Government as the tangible cultural properties.
