Katsuo-ji, the Temple That Healed the Emperor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The history of Katsuo-ji Temple dates back to 727 when two Buddhist monks, Zenchu and his brother Zensan, built a hut where they devoted themselves to Buddhism. Almost forty years later, in the year 765, Prince Kaijo (Emperor Konin\u2019s son), with the help of Zenchu and Zensan, established Miroku-ji Temple<\/strong> (\u5f25\u52d2\u5bfa) in place of the hut the two brothers had built. Their mission was to reach the spiritual realm of Buddha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 880, the Emperor Seiwa fell ill, and the devoted flocked to Miroku-ji to pray for his recovery. After overcoming his illness, many owed this miracle to Miroku-ji temple, and the<\/strong> Emperor later renamed the temple Katsuo-ji: \u201cThe Temple of the Victorious King.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
$\"ema$ <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Initially, the chosen kanji<\/em> (Japanese characters) were \u52dd\u738b\u5bfa <\/strong>\u2013Katsu <\/em>(\u52dd) meaning \u2018victory,\u2019 Ou<\/em> (\u738b), meaning \u2018king\u2019 and Ji<\/em> (\u5bfa), meaning \u2018temple.\u2019 However, the character for \u2018king\u2019 was considered too pretentious and not keeping with the values of Buddhism. The kanji<\/em> was later changed to \u5c3e (ou<\/em>), meaning \u2018tail.\u2019 While preserving the original pronunciation, the temple settled on \u52dd\u5c3e\u5bfa<\/strong>, a much more modest version of the original name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For years after, the Shogun<\/em> (feudal lords) <\/strong>congregated at Katsuo-ji Temple to pray for their victories. Now, <\/strong>people visit to offer their prayers for success in studies, love and sports competition<\/strong> at the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The Winning Daruma<\/em>, the Emblem of the Katsuo-ji Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the features that set Katsuo-ji apart from other temples is the omnipresence of the daruma<\/em>. Known as Kachi-Daruma<\/em><\/strong> (Winning Daruma), the Katsuo-ji daruma<\/em> is the<\/strong> emblem of this sacred place<\/strong>. As the dolls watch every corner of the temple grounds, they provide a unique atmosphere to Katsuo-ji Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Daruma<\/em>? A Brief Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The daruma<\/em> is one of the best-known amulets of Japan. Unlike other charms meant only to attract luck and fulfill wishes, the daruma<\/em> symbolizes perseverance and serves as a reminder to set goals in one’s life.<\/strong> When first purchased, the eyes are left white, and the owner paints them black once they have achieved their goal. If left incomplete, the <\/em>doll acts as a reminder to stay motivated to complete their work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daruma<\/em> is made of wood and have no arms or legs. Their weighted base prevents them from falling or tipping over, which represents perseverance and reminds us not to falter in the face of adversity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n $\"daruma$ <\/figure><\/li>
$\"many$ <\/figure><\/li>
$\"katsuo$ <\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The daruma<\/em> is modelled after Bodhidharma<\/a>, the founder of Zen Buddhism. According to legend, Bodhidharma spent nine years staring at a cave wall in intense meditation<\/strong>. One famous account tells of his limbs atrophying after lack of use for nine years, and in order not to fall asleep, cut his eyelids off. As a symbol of motivation, sacrifice, and never giving up<\/strong>, the daruma<\/em> has been depicted without arms or legs and with white eyes ever since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Daruma<\/em> Ritual at Katsuo-ji Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Visitors can purchase a daruma<\/em> at the temple, and dolls come in a variety of sizes. The standard size costs 2,000 yen, and the largest one costs 70,000 yen! (prices from 2020<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you get your daruma<\/em> doll, write the goals you’d like to achieve on the back. Next, go to the main temple building (right in front of the daruma<\/em> shop), pick up a stick of incense, and pray for your goals’ success. Afterwards, stick your incense in the ashes and purify your daruma<\/em> into its smoke and infuse it with positive thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finally, with a permanent marker, paint the left eye of your doll.<\/strong> Once done, your daruma<\/em> will be ready to travel home with you. The single painted eye will help remind you to finish your goal so that you can paint the other eye. Once you’ve painted both, it will effectively complete your doll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visitors can also purchase a mini daruma<\/em> for 500 yen with an omikuji<\/em><\/strong> (\u304a\u307f\u304f\u3058, fortune paper) inside. Many visitors place their daruma throughout the temple grounds, which adds to the magical atmosphere of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Entrance of Katsuo-ji Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The temple complex has a large, red torii<\/em> gateway that is hard to miss. After we parked our rental car at the parking lot and paid for our 400 yen admission fee<\/strong> at the ticket office, we continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As impressive as the large red torii<\/em> door was, I was more surprised after going through it. As I walked through the bridge across the central lake, a dense mist came from the sacred water to envelop me<\/strong> and transported me to a mysterious, fantasy world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I returned to reality, I climbed up the stairs that led me to the temple’s main building. On the way, hundreds of little daruma<\/em> watched me pass by. The short walk became a hide-and-seek game \u2013 trying to find the hidden daruma<\/em> in the most unlikely places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Pilgrimage of 88 Temples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the unique features of this temple is a small room of 88 statues. <\/strong>It has a special connection to the <\/strong>Shikoku pilgrimage<\/strong><\/a>, as every statue represents the 88 temples along the pilgrimage route in the Shikoku region. The popular belief is that when walking this route, one becomes aware of their true self, and as a result, reduces frustration and superficial desires disappear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under each statue, there is a small metal hatch that keeps sand from each of the Shikoku pilgrimage temple sites<\/strong>. People who step on each of the 88 trap doors while bowing slightly before each statue will have symbolically completed the Shikoku pilgrimage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Main Katsuo-ji<\/em> Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I finally made it to the main temple building. This time, I didn’t buy a new daruma <\/em>doll, as I had an incomplete one I acquired during one of my trips in Gunma prefecture (\u7fa4\u99ac\u770c), back at home. If fulfilling one goal was already challenging, achieving two would be an impossible task!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Farewell to the Goddess Benzaiten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before saying goodbye to Katsuo-ji, I headed towards a small shrine dedicated to the goddess Benzaiten (\u5f01\u624d\u5929), the deity of music and fine arts<\/strong>. In the middle <\/em>of the great lake and beyond a beautiful red torii <\/em>gate, was the shrine. The soundtrack was the sound of water falling from a wooden platform and hitting rocks below. It sounded like the perfect musical harmony for the deity of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, my visit to Katsuo-ji, one of the most fascinating temples I’ve seen in Osaka prefecture<\/strong>, came to an end. And while I advanced towards the exit, I couldn’t help but stop several times to contemplate the beauty found in every corner of that magical place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterfalls, Monkeys and Nature in Mino Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Before leaving, I visited Mino Park near Katsuo-ji Temple<\/strong>. Walking along its paths felt like a true immersion into nature. Enjoy a beautiful waterfall, eat tempura momiji<\/em> (Japanese maple) leaves deep-fried in a sweet batter<\/em><\/strong> and keep your eyes open for the monkeys that inhabit the park<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get to Katsuo-ji Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To get to Katsuo-ji Temple, I’d recommend travelling by car<\/strong>, as it will allow you to explore the area more freely without waiting for public transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get to Katsuo-ji Temple by public transport<\/strong>, these are the most convenient ways to get there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re leaving from Umeda Station<\/strong> (\u6885\u7530\u99c5), catch the Hankyu-Senri Line <\/strong>to Kita-Senri Station<\/strong> (\u5317\u5343\u91cc\u99c5), then take bus 29<\/strong> to Katsuo-ji Temple.<\/li>
From Shin-Osaka Station<\/strong> (\u65b0\u5927\u962a\u99c5), take the Midosuji Line<\/strong> to Senri-Chuo station<\/strong> (\u5343\u91cc\u4e2d\u592e\u99c5), where you also catch bus 29 to Katsuo-ji Temple.<\/li>
Catch a taxi from Mino Station<\/strong> (\u7b95\u9762\u99c5) on the Hankyu-Mino Line<\/strong>, for a 20-minute ride Katsuo-ji Temple, or a 15-minute taxi ride from Saito-Nishi Station<\/strong> (\u5f69\u90fd\u897f\u99c5) on the Saito Line<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
I recommend checking the bus timetables and asking for other transportation options at an Osaka tourist office before starting your journey to Mino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
