Kaeru カエル　蛙　Frog Amulet - Frosch There are many types of frogs and toads on our planet. And for haiku friends, the frog lives on a special podest because of Basho and his "old pond" haiku. The word for frog is pronounced "kaeru." It is a pun with the word "return home." Therefore travelers carry a small frog amulet with the intent of returning safely to their family. .

The Buddha of this temple is known for healing eye diseases. Me no Hotokesama 目の仏様. Once upon a time, there lived a frog in the temple compound, who saw countless patients with eye diseases come visiting and praying for a cure. "Is there anything I could do to help them?" he asked himself. Then he made this vow: "I will close one of my eyes to experience their pain and will ask the divine grace and help of Jizo Bosatsu to cure their diseases." When all people are cured from eye diseases, this frog will open his eye again. The statue of Jizo is an important cultural treasure at the temple and not shown to people. But there is a similar large statue of 6 meters in the compound, one of the three large Jizo statues of Japan. At its feet are countles figures of the little frog, offered with the wish to be cured.
