In the Asuka period, in the early morning of March 18, the 36th year of Emperor Suiko (628), the brothers Hinokumae Hamanari and Takenari were fishing in Edoura (Sumida River) and unexpectedly sensed the statue of Kannon-sama. Goji Doshi Chuchi (there are various theories about the name) worshipped it, learned that he was a saint Kanseon Bodhisattva, and deeply took refuge, and then became a monk, rebuilt his home into a temple, and devoted his life to worship services.
In the first year of Dahua (645), Shokai Shōnin came to this area, built the Kannon-do Hall, and decreed the main statue as a secret Buddha by a dream confession, and since then this law of denbo has been strictly observed to this day.
