Fukuhara 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #26 Hokai-ji TempleI walked out of #7 Suma-dera Temple’s northeast exit, and stepped down onto the Sumadera Park, not to #6 Jotoku-ji Temple but to #26 Hokai-ji Temple. I tried a couple of exits from the park, but each time I wondered if I were walking toward #26. Finally, I found a ladder at the depth of the park. The steps led me to the road which runs east and west at the foot of Mt. Rokko. I walked along the bus road, passed by Suma Rikyu Park, went under the elevated highway, and climbed down a narrow outdoor staircase. After a block or two, I found a rather Japanese but almost ordinary house-like building. It took me sometime to realize that it was what I was looking for, #26 Hokai-ji Temple.The building, presumably the temple's main building, had an ordinary entrance with 2 sliding doors, and another set of larger, almost-window-like sliding doors. I tried to open the last one, in vain. I rang ding-dong without any hope. BUT there came out an ordinary middle-aged priest through the smaller entrance.He opened the larger one, and started talking about the histories of the temple and, unexpectedly, the Fukuhara 33 Kannon Pilgrimage with extraordinary hospitality.Hokai-ji Temple was established in 952 in Hyogo Port as the only temple to console the souls of shipwrecked sailors. Without any powerful parishioners, when it was burned down under the air raids in World War II, it had to evacuate to its present place. That’s why the temple isn't geographically between #25 Manpuku-ji and #27 Gokuraku-ji Temples but between #7 Suma-dera and #6 Jotoku-ji Temples.The main deity of Hokai-ji Temple used to be Sarasvati. Legend has it that the statue was chiseled by Kukai (774-835), and long afterwards became the guardian deity of Taira Kiyomori (1118-1181). In 1184, when the Taira Clan lost to the Genji Clan and hastily evacuated westward, all they could take away from the temple was its head. By the end of the 17th century, Renchi-in Temple, Hagi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, gained the head. Later, the body was sent to Hagi, and they (?) are enshrined in Renchi-in Temple peacefully now.In 1683, the Fukuhara 33 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized to commemorate the 499th anniversary of the death of Taira Atsumori (1169-1184). Who was Taira Atsumori? On February 7, 1184, the battle in Suma between the Taira and Minamoto Clans was nearing its end, and the Taira Clan commanders and soldiers were fleeing on their vessels. Kumagai Naozane (1141-1208), who was fighting for the Minamoto Clan, was still scanning the beach to get a valuable head of any enemy commander. He spotted Atsumori swimming towards the fleeing vessels on his horse. The Tale of Heike continues, “Kumagai beckoned to him with his war fan, crying out: ‘Shameful! to show an enemy your back. Return. Return!’ Then the warrior turned his horse and rode it back to the beach, where Kumagai at once engaged him in mortal combat. Quickly hurling him to the ground, he sprang upon him and tore off his helmet to cut off his head, when he beheld the face of a youth of sixteen or seventeen, delicately powdered and with blackened teeth, just about the age of his own son, and with features of great beauty.” Kumagai hesitated, but knew the young enemy would be killed by other Minamoto warriors in either case. Crying, Kumagai beheaded the boy.
