Daruma-Temple, a temple associated with Prince Shotoku
Prince Shotoku found a starving man lying on the side of the road and rescued him by giving him food, drink, and clothes, but the starving man died. Prince Shotoku was deeply saddened and built a tomb for the starving man, and buried him deeply. However, when he checked the grave a few days later, he found that the body of the starving man who had been buried had disappeared. This starving man came to be thought of as the incarnation of Daruma Daishi, and Daruma-ji Temple was born. Daruma-ji Temple, which began with the encounter between Prince Shotoku and Daruma Daishi, has a statue of Prince Shotoku and a statue of Daruma Daishi enshrined as its principal images.
What is Setsubun?
``Setsubun'' means ``separating the seasons.'' It is said that evil spirits (demons) tend to appear around the time of the seasons, and the evil spirits (demons) are chased away by scattering beans. The name comes from the fact that in the past, demons were killed with beans.
