Bokuun-ji Temple

Fudasho No.6 Bokuunnji is located southeast of downtown Chichibu.
The main temple building, also called Oginodo, is said to have been built by Gyoki, and its main statue, the Shokannon, was transferred from Zaogongen on top of Mt.Buko.

A fire in 1876 destroyed the main hall, Oginodo and the storehouse, etc.
After the hall was rebuilt around 1907, the principal image has been enshrined in the main hall since then.
The temple treasure, "Yamamba's Tooth," is a tooth of Yamamba, a mountain crone captured by Gyoki Bosatsu and released from captivity, which she gave to him after removing three teeth as a sign of her vow not to disobey God and Buddha. It is said that Gyoki carved the principal image on the tooth and enshrined it in the temple.
