After that the fortune of the temple had prospered,the temple has improved with Shichido Garan (seven buildings in the temple) standing in a low.It was destroyed by the fire caused by war by Chosogabe's army for the tensho era (1573-91),but the principal image of Buddha could escape danger. In the Edo era Nanzan Zenshi of Rinzai sect entered the temple and revived it,so the denomination changet the Shingon sect into the Rinzai sect.It suffered from a fire in 3 the Tenpo era (1832), the chief priest of the Buddhist temple was burned to death,but the principal image remained intact.the present pricipal image has the signature that Busshi (a sculptor of Buddhist images) Kyojin made it in 4 the Kyuan era (1148),it is appointed as important cultural assets of the nation.
