The “Black Honzon” is said to bring good fortune.

Zojoji Temple is known for its deep ties to Tokugawa Ieyasu. 

This is because during the Sengoku period, when Prince Ieyasu entered Edo, he became the danka of Zojoji Temple, and later became the family temple of the Tokugawa family. 

At that time, people did not know when they would die, so it was common to have a Bodhisattva temple nearby.
