Description

Beside the Main Hall of Daikozenji stands a medieval stone relief from Japan's period of the Northern and Southern Courts. Carved into a granite slab approximately 1.3 m tall and 54 cm wide is a figure about 65 cm high, believed to represent Seitaka Doji, an attendant of Fudo Myoo. An inscription dated Shohei 10 (1355), using the Southern Court's era name, connects the monument with the political history of the region. It formerly stood beside a nearby farm road and is thought to have been venerated for healing, safe childbirth and protection from misfortune. It is designated an Important Cultural Property by Kiyama Town.
