Temple history :
Fujii-dera was founded by Kōbō Daishi in 815. He also carved the main deity (honzon) Yakushi Nyorai, although an inscription of another name on it seems to prove the opposite. During the Edo period, Fujii-dera became Zen Rinzai temple Destroyed during the wars, the last reconstruction dates from 1860, a little before the end of the Edo period. The Honzon, however, survived all the destruction. It became an object of worship for people wishing to escape the disasters.
