Lots of guide books don’t refer to easy delivery. But Kiyomizu-dera is known as Goriyaku for that. For example, in Kiyomizu-dera Sankei Mandara (In Japanese) , we can find a married couple pray on the stage.

In Nainaijin 内々陣から参拝可能

In the Senninchi Mairi of Kiyomizu-dera, we can be in the Nainaijin. Nainaijin is the most important place in Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples because Deities are enshrined there. Usually, especially in Shinto shrine, Nainaijin is so sacred that we cannot be there.

The Deities of Kiyomizu-dera 須弥壇上の御本尊

清水寺千手観音像

Kiyomizu-dera enshrines Juichimen Senju Kannon 「十一面千手観音菩薩像」as Gohonzon, the most important Deity. It also enshrines Shoteki Bishamonten 「勝敵毘沙門天像」and Gunsyo Jizo Bosatsu 「勝軍地蔵菩薩像」.

There is a story on these Deities. Sakanoue no Tamuramaro, the founder of Kiyomizu-dera, was in the middle of the toughest battle against Ezo, the ancient ethnic group in the Tohoku region. Tamuramaro asked help for Juichimen Senju Kannon of Kiyomizu-dera. A monk Shoteki Bishamonten and Gunsyo Jizo Bosatsu on behalf of him.

In Nainaijin, there are three Zushi ( housing looks Mikoshi) . They are enshrined there.

In front of the one located in center, we can find replica of the statue of Juichimen Senju Kannon. The authentic one is in the Zushi.

There are no statues of the other Deities. Don’t worry. In the beam of the Raido, there are three disks called Mishotai. We can see the three Deities on them.
