天性寺, Buddhist temple in Kishiwada, Japan
Tensho-ji Temple houses a principal Buddha statue of Amida Nyorai and contains a distinguished Jizo statue within its expansive grounds in Osaka Prefecture.
The temple gained prominence in 1584 when it played a central role during an attack on Kishiwada Castle by forces from Kishu province.
The temple holds the Thousand Days Grand Buddhist Service every August 23rd and 24th, revealing the normally hidden Octopus Jizo statue to visitors.
The temple stands 500 meters northwest of Takojizo Station on the Nankai Main Line, with dedicated parking facilities for worshippers and visitors.
The temple features numerous ema prayer tablets depicting octopi, where visitors make wishes while pledging not to consume octopus meat.
