Only Benzaiten is woman in seven gods.
I started to visiting Narashino Shichifukujin from the temple named Yakushiji.
It is situated amid a shopping street near the Keisei Okubo Station.
今年は初めて七福神めぐりをしてみました。近所を中心にめぐる、習志野七福神めぐり。まずは一番近い、薬師寺へ。
As soon as I entered the gate, Rokujizo (Six Jizo) welcomed me.
参道に入るとまずは六地蔵がお出迎え。
Worship hall.
拝殿です。小さいお寺なのですぐ。
I seeked Benzaiten… I couldn’t find…
There was a red flag that is written “Benzaiten”, so I looked around, but there was any.
旗の周りを探しますが、弁財天らしき姿は見当たらず。
Not
違う。
Maybe not.
多分ちがう。（いや、どう見ても・・・）
Saying “no”. This is Kosodate Jizo (child-raising Jizo) .
違う。「子育地蔵」と書いてありますから。
Not. Koyasu Kanzeon
子安観世音
This is not, too. This is Koyasu Jizo (Jizo for children’s health).
Namu Daishi
こちらは南無大師。
No.88…?
That is No.88 of 88 Yoshihashi Shin-Shikoku sacred sites pilgrimage.
八十八？？・・・箇所めぐり的な？
Carps
鯉です。
What?
なんだろうね。いろいろいます。
Looks happy :). But something sadly.
幸せそうです。でもなんか寂しそう。
Oh?
･･･ん？中になんかいる。しかしこの距離では私の目では判別できない！
There is something. Because it was dark in it ,I couldn’t see with the naked eye.
But I could through a camera. I tried to more close.
ズームしてズームして･･･
Oh,
あっ！いた！弁財天！小さい！
I find Benzaiten ! 😀
But, a man?
Benzaiten must be a woman…
Therefore, I get stamp.
An ink pad is in front of worship hall.
というわけでスタンプ押します！
スタンプ台はお賽銭箱の横にあります。ぐりぐり(｀・ω・´)ﾉ
The principal image of Buddha is Yakushi Nyorai (Bhasajyaguru).
