Shizu Onba-son (Guardian of Safe Childbirth)
About the Event
Shizu Onba-son is revered as the wet-nurse deity of Mt. Tarō, who presides over Batō Kannon (the Horse-Headed Kannon). For many years, local women have prayed here for safe childbirth and their children's wellbeing. Rinnō-ji revived this long-lapsed tradition in 2017, and a memorial service is now held here each year at this time.
