Aramaki no Monju 荒巻の文殊 Aramaki no Monju
In the village 相馬中村 Soma Nakamura lived a yamabushi 山伏 mountain priest called 佐藤八大院長秀 Sato Nagahide. Together with his younger brother 甚次郎定次 he killed the enemy who had killed their father, at the pass 果無し峠 Hatenashi Toge.
Then they went to Sendai and became retainers of 伊達政宗 Lord Date Masamune.
One day they had a dream that a statue of Monju Bosatsu was lying deep down in a riverpool.
They found the statue and built a hall on a mountain near the Aramakiyama Kaido
In former times girls used to make a pilgrimage here when they were 13 years of age, to pray for wisdom.
