Zenjibu-ji, Buddhist temple in Nankoku, Japan
Zenjibu-ji temple stands on a mountain shaped like an eight-leafed lotus, marking the 32nd stop on the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage route.
Emperor Shōmu ordered the construction of the temple hall to ensure the protection of Gyōki during his maritime journey in ancient Japan.
The temple houses the Funadama Kannon statue, a representation that fishermen traditionally prayed to before embarking on their maritime expeditions.
Located 5.6 kilometers from Chikurinji temple and 7.8 kilometers from Sekkeiji temple, Zenjibu-ji serves as a central point for pilgrims following the route.
The mountain location of Zenjibu-ji mirrors the form of Mount Potalaka, with Kūkai naming it Gumonji-in after praying to Akasagarbha.
