不動院は、明王不動院盤若坊と称する真言宗豊山(ぶざん)派の寺院ですが、木賊(とくさ)不動とも呼ばれています。 木賊不動と呼ばれるようになったのは、昔この地が木賊の生い茂る所だったためとか、あるいは村人が木賊ガ原で草を刈っていたときに不動像を発見し、これを祀(まつ)ったからだともいわれています。 不動院の縁日は1月28日で、この日は境内及びその周辺に農機具やおみやげを売る露店のほか、ダルマを売る店が多数出店されますので、「関東の納めダルマ市」と呼ばれています。 不動院の縁日にダルマが売られるようになったのは、明治の終わり頃からで、現在は平塚市四の宮や厚木市でつくられている「相模ダルマ」が中心となっています。
また、ここの不動様は火伏せの不動としても有名で、縁日に参拝した人は、穴あき銭を1枚もらい、それを火の側に祀っておくと火難にあわないといわれています。そして、1年間無事であった場合は、昨年もらった穴あき銭に御礼のお金を添えて返し、新しい穴あき銭をもらって帰るというしきたりがあります。

To strike fire for good luck (kiribi 切り火)when someone leaves the home for a trip or a dangerous job is a familiar scene from Zenigata Heiji, the detective of the Edo period. The sparks will ward off evil influence and bad luck.
. Zenigata Heiji 銭型平次 and Kanda Myojin
Legend tells of Prince Yamatotakeru (日本武尊) , who had to go on a mission to the North to quell enemies. His aunt gave him a pouch with a flintstone, which saved him in peril on the trip.
Even now you can buy the flint stone as a lucky charm.
Japanese flint stones are made from a kind of quarz glass (sekiei 石英) or from agate (menoo 瑪瑙).
They can be used with a piece of metal to produce sparks (hiuchi gane 火打ち金/燧鉄).

Another shop at the postal station Yoshii-juku 吉井宿 also used such a sign. His merchandise was of good quality and soon sold all over Japan.

The tea stall near the shrine, Chiyo no sha 千代の舎, began selling them during the Edo period. They were now filled with rough sweet beans (tsubu anko) and grilled on both sides to purify them.
Nowadays they are called gyuuhi mochi 求肥(ぎゅうひ)餅.

The Marathon Monks of Mount Hiei
..... During the route, Kakudo will sit down only once -- beneath a giant sacred cedar for two minutes -- to pray for the protection of the imperial family. After a first run with a master, Kakudo will be on his own. He may suffer cuts, sprains, stone bruises and punctures to his feet and ankles. He may run a fever, experience back and hip pain, develop hemorrhoids and diarrhea, suffer from frostbite, dehydration and hunger.
But by about the 30th day, according to predecessors' accounts, his discomfort will lessen as his body adapts to the pain and strain. By the 70th day he is run/walking with a smooth gait, head and shoulders erect, back straight, nose and navel aligned.
He will continually chant mantras to the god,
Fudo Myo-o.
His spiritual goal is to become completely absorbed in the mountain and its surroundings, so that the pain and discomfort of the physical ritual will not be noticed, or at least be ignored. Kakudo hopes to achieve a state of Enlightenment-- the pure spiritual joy of feeling one with the universe.
As rugged as it appears, however, this test is merely a warmup in the ultimate spiritual quest of the Marathon Monks -- the complete process entails seven more years and becomes progressively and unfathomably more difficult.

........ Symbolism in Himalayan Art
The Buddhist art of the Himalayas is essentially symbolic in nature and is rich with esoteric elements. To unlock its mysteries the viewer must use semiotic codes. Since the Himalayan pieces featured in the exhibition are primarily employed in the service of Buddhism, they are religious in nature. Hence, they were produced in large part either by monks who practiced it, or by the artists [who were knowledgeable in Buddhist iconography].
The practitioners, of course, understood the meaning and symbolism but the laypeople did not. Deepak Shimkhada, assistant professor of art and religion at Claremont, McKenna College is an expert in the subject of Himalayan art and will unveil the mysteries of the mudras and mandalas as seen in the Buddhist art of the Himalayas.

Mantra, Dharani, Waka and Japanese Poetry
Reading the Miraculous Powers of Japanese Poetry
http://www.nanzan-u.ac.jp/SHUBUNKEN/publications/jjrs/pdf/705.pdf
some quotes
... waka (Japanese poems) achieve their supernatural effects because they are the dharani (magical Buddhist incantations) of Japan —
By the twelfth century,under the in fluence of the Tendai concept of non-duality,many priests, poets and commentators had begun to equate the Way of Poetry with the Way of Buddhism.
... the poet-priest Kamo no Chōmei explains that unlike prose, a poem “possesses the power to move heaven and earth, to calm demons and gods,”because, among other attributes,“it contains many truths in a single word ” (hito kotoba ni ōku no kotowari wo kome)
"The exoteric is to consume many words to denote one meaning. The esoteric is to unleash countless meanings from within each letter of a word. This is the secret function of dharani.”
Kukai
Japanese poetry,with its use of puns,pivot-words,pillow-phrases,and various associative and allusive techniques,is characterized by a similar semantic economy. Kamo no Chōmei seems to have thus equated the origins of waka ’s miraculous powers with those of dharani as formulated by Kūkai in the early ninth century.
waka are effective because, as dharani, they express a “natural truth ”that transcends human language. In that they necessarily express that truth in “thirty-one syllables ”— the standard waka format — their power results from both their content and their form.
"Waka are the dharani of Japan.
Waka are the source of magical powers; they are seeds drawing us to enlightenment."
Sonshun 尊舜 (1452 - 1514)
. . . . .
At the time of his founding of the Temple on Mount Hiei, the Master Saicho sought out timber to construct the [statue of ] Yakushi in the Central Hall. In the north-east, he came upon a camphor tree emitting light from its trunk.Thinking this strange, he approached to have a look. Two demons were standing guard, the monk intoned

Indian "Truth Acts" and Japanese Power Poetry
(saccakiriyā /satyakriyā )
The Truth Act, like the dharani,was a potent instrument in the magico-religious technology of Indian Buddhism, and it seems to have been adopted — albeit in somewhat condensed form — for use in a number of the miraculous poems of Japan.

Question:
In the composition of poetry,if one should put aside truth (makoto 実) and concentrate solely on the crafting of ornate language,is it not the case that however fine a poem one might produce, that poem will fail to stir emotion in demons and gods?
Answer:
To move heaven and earth and stir emotion in demons and gods requires both deep feeling and good poetry.However deep one ’s feelings might be, if one should write,“How sad,how sad,” demons and gods are not likely to be moved. But if a poem is born of an earnest heart and is but skillfully wrought, supernatural beings are sure to be moved of their owna ccord. Likewise, however elegant the language of a poem, should that poem lack feeling, demons and gods are unlikely to respond.
But when people hear a poem that is both profound in sentiment and gracefully crafted,their hearts are naturally touched. So too heaven and earth are moved and demons and gods are affected.

Guardian Deities of the Individual
一代守り本尊
There is a popular belief that each person has one of eight BuddhistDeities who watches over and protects them.
These eight deities are:
the Nyorai (Buddhas) Dainichi & Amida; theBosatsu (bodhisatvas) Senju-Kanzeon, Kokuzo, Monju, Fuken & Seishi:and the Myo-o (Wrathful Kings of Mystic Wisdom) Fudo.
To discover your principal patron deity, who is watching over younow, and has done so since your birth, simply find your 'birth year'on the chart below. As you can see, in the Japanese allocation system used here,the 'years' do not run from January-December, but from February-January.So if you were, for example born in January 1967, you are actuallyconsidered as having been born in the end of 1966. In this example,your patron would therefore be Seishi Bosatsu (Feb 1966 - Jan 1967) rather than Dainichi Nyorai.
List of the Deities, here only the Fudoo-Years
(from February to January - Asian lunar calendar)
1909-10 Fudo Myo-o

Sanjuubanshin Doo 三十番神堂
Halle für die 30 Schutzgottheiten
妙法寺 (Nichiren) in Osaka. Wooden statues of the 30 kami, 10 female rasetsu, and Kariteimo inside the Banjindō 番神堂 (special structure for the 30 kami). The temple holds an annual event on Sept. 15 to venerate this group of deities. Age of statues not listed.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
THIRTY KAMI TUTELARIES OF THE
30 DAYS OF THE MONTH 三十番神
The 30 kami can be categorized as "good gods" (zenjin or zenshin 善神), but if neglected, they can just as easily abandon the nation and its people. The list of thirty reads like a Who's Who of Japan's most powerful kami, including Myōjin 明神 (manifest deities) from Japan's most eminent shrines (Myōjin Taisha 名神大社), Gongen 権現 (avatars), Tenjin 天神 (deified humans), and the sun goddess Amaterasu Ōmikami. Each is linked to a Buddhist counterpart (honjibutsu 本地仏). The list thus highlights the great syncretic Buddha-Kami merger of the medieval period known as Honji Suijaku
NOTES ON HONJI SUIJAKU. During Japan's Heian era (794 - 1185), the numerous kami (Shinto deities) were recognized as traces or manifestations or incarnations (suijaku) of the Buddhist divinities (honji or honjibutsu), and a great syncretic melding occurred, with shrines and temples sharing both deities and sacred grounds.
Honji Suijaku was originally a Buddhist term used to explain the Buddha's nature as a metaphysical being (honji) and the historical human figure Sakyamuni (suijaku) as the manifest trace. In Japan's early Nara period, the honji were regarded as more important than the suijaku. Gradually they both came to be regarded as one, with neither the honji or suijaku considered more important. By the 9th century, Buddhist temples were constructed alongside Shinto shrines on many sacred mountains, epitomized by the holy Shugendo places throughout the Yoshino mountain range and by the powerful Tendai multiplex on Mt. Hiei. The native Shinto kami (deities) residing on these peaks were considered manifestations of Buddhist divinities, and pilgrimages to these sites were believed to bring double favor from both their Shinto and Buddhist counterparts. Another major center of syncretism was the Kasuga Shrine in Nara. The number of deities proliferated. Despite earlier resistance, syncretism was relatively smooth and marked by religious tolerance.
The Honji Suijaku theory was used for most of Japan's religious history to explain the relationship between the kami (indiginous gods) and imported Buddhist divinities. It was only after the Meiji Period, when the government forceably separated the two camps, that Buddhism and Shintoism were portrayed as two distinct philosophies.

Einige Figuren tragen dabei ein Holzszepter. Es finden sich auch Frauengestalten darunter.

Sanjuubanshin Doo 三十番神堂
Halle für die 30 Schutzgottheiten
妙法寺 (Nichiren) in Osaka. Wooden statues of the 30 kami, 10 female rasetsu, and Kariteimo inside the Banjindō 番神堂 (special structure for the 30 kami). The temple holds an annual event on Sept. 15 to venerate this group of deities. Age of statues not listed.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
THIRTY KAMI TUTELARIES OF THE
30 DAYS OF THE MONTH 三十番神
The 30 kami can be categorized as "good gods" (zenjin or zenshin 善神), but if neglected, they can just as easily abandon the nation and its people. The list of thirty reads like a Who's Who of Japan's most powerful kami, including Myōjin 明神 (manifest deities) from Japan's most eminent shrines (Myōjin Taisha 名神大社), Gongen 権現 (avatars), Tenjin 天神 (deified humans), and the sun goddess Amaterasu Ōmikami. Each is linked to a Buddhist counterpart (honjibutsu 本地仏). The list thus highlights the great syncretic Buddha-Kami merger of the medieval period known as Honji Suijaku
NOTES ON HONJI SUIJAKU. During Japan's Heian era (794 - 1185), the numerous kami (Shinto deities) were recognized as traces or manifestations or incarnations (suijaku) of the Buddhist divinities (honji or honjibutsu), and a great syncretic melding occurred, with shrines and temples sharing both deities and sacred grounds.
Honji Suijaku was originally a Buddhist term used to explain the Buddha's nature as a metaphysical being (honji) and the historical human figure Sakyamuni (suijaku) as the manifest trace. In Japan's early Nara period, the honji were regarded as more important than the suijaku. Gradually they both came to be regarded as one, with neither the honji or suijaku considered more important. By the 9th century, Buddhist temples were constructed alongside Shinto shrines on many sacred mountains, epitomized by the holy Shugendo places throughout the Yoshino mountain range and by the powerful Tendai multiplex on Mt. Hiei. The native Shinto kami (deities) residing on these peaks were considered manifestations of Buddhist divinities, and pilgrimages to these sites were believed to bring double favor from both their Shinto and Buddhist counterparts. Another major center of syncretism was the Kasuga Shrine in Nara. The number of deities proliferated. Despite earlier resistance, syncretism was relatively smooth and marked by religious tolerance.
The Honji Suijaku theory was used for most of Japan's religious history to explain the relationship between the kami (indiginous gods) and imported Buddhist divinities. It was only after the Meiji Period, when the government forceably separated the two camps, that Buddhism and Shintoism were portrayed as two distinct philosophies.

The present building dates back to 1561, the main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai.
It used to belong to the shrine 氷川神社 Hikawa Jinja in Asakusa.
There was a special hall for 不動堂 Fudo Myo-O, but the building was lost in the Air Raids of 1945. The statue of Fudo and Kobo Daishi could be saved however.
In the early Heian period
藤原秀郷 Fujiwara Hidesato came here to pray for victory against Taira no Masakado and to partake of the power of this statue. The statue had then been handed around in various temples in the Kanto area. But in 1714 the priest from 三光院 Sanko-In in Tama had the vision to bring it back to Shogon-Ji where it is kept to our day.
