Unraveling the beliefs of Wada Yoshimori in Senryu, the Dragon Goddess
Konenji Temple

Konenji, dédié au Bouddha Amida, aurait été fondé par Wada Yoshimori en 1190, première année de l'ère Kenkyu.

En 1180, Minamoto no Yoritomo a mobilisé une armée pour chasser le clan Heike, mais il a été gravement battu. Wada Yoshimori, qui a participé à la guerre pour soutenir Yoritomo, a réussi à s'échapper du château de Kinugasa, surveillé par son père Miura no Yoshiaki. Yoshimori a réussi à s'enfuir de Kurihama en traversant la mer. Au cours de son voyage, il a rencontré une grande adversité et a demandé l'aide de Senryu, la déesse dragon. En reconnaissance de sa survie, il a construit le sanctuaire Senryu Benzaiten.

La déesse dragon tient une arme dans chacune de ses huit mains. Au plafond du hall principal, se trouvent de magnifiques peintures représentant huit dragons : quatre de chaque côté.

Un autre bouddha Unkei, commandé par Wada Yoshimori, se trouve au temple Joraku-ji à Ashina ; les deux sont considérés des biens culturels importants désignés au niveau national.
