Kangetsudo Hall

A sub-temple on the precincts of Kotokuin Temple, home of the Great Buddha of Kamakura and the 23rd stop among the 33 sites sacred to the Bodhisattva Kannon. It was reportedly built at the Korean Royal Palace in Hanyang in the middle of the 15th century. In 1924 it was moved from the private residence of Kisei Sugino in Meguro, Tokyo and donated to the temple. The president of Yamaichi Goshi Gaisha (later Yamaichi Securities), he owned it at that time. Currently, Kangetsudo enshrines an image of the Bodhisattva Kannon thought to date from the late Edo period.
