Former Tahoto Pagoda, Myogen-in01 ／ Land survey copy
In the 13th year of Keicho (1608), Owari Domain held its first land survey under magistrates including Ina Bizen no kami Tadatsugu. One copy left in the village, the Bishu Kaito-gun Majima-mura Yakushi-ryo Onawauchi-cho, is kept at Myogen-in. It lists the grade, area and holder of each field, and corresponds to today's land register.
02 ／ Enshu's letter
A letter that Kobori Enshu (1579-1647) sent to Myogen-in tells of his close ties with the head priest and of his eye treatment at the temple. It is a town-designated cultural property (1991). The temple garden is said to have been laid out by Enshu. The photo is a drawing of the temple's rear garden from the Owari Meisho Zue.
03 ／ Nio statues
According to the town board of education, they stand on either side of the gate and guard the temple grounds with wide-open, wrathful eyes. The open-mouthed Agyo is on the right as seen from the front and the closed-mouthed Ungyo on the left, in mirrored poses. A spiral carved on the Agyo's left hip is a distinctive feature. They were designated by the town in 2011.
