Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Medicine 薬師如来 . Yakushi Nyorai Cures Eye Ailments The Tendai school played a key role in spreading the still-popular belief that Yakushi is adept at curing eye ailments. The story originated in the Nanbokuchō period (1336–92) and involves the Tendai monk Seigan 清眼僧都 (d. 1379) and his eye clinic at the Tendai temple Myōgen-in 明眼院, Aichi Prefecture. According to legend, Yakushi appeared to Seigan in a dream and promised to reveal the secrets of healing eyes. The next morning, Seigan discovered the medical text Kanbō-igaku 漢方医学 in the temple that enabled him to successfully treat people suffering from eye afflictions. Seigan's book contributed greatly to the development of ophthalmology in Japan in later centuries. Ichibata Yakushi Temple 一畑薬師 in Izumo (Shimane Prefecture) houses more than 8,000 miniature statues of Yakushi. Devotees come here to pray for relief from eye problems and other ailments. - source : Mark Schumacher ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::　 From Chuzonji in Hiraizumi 中尊寺 願成就院 This special temple is dedicated to Yakushi Ruriko Nyorai 薬師瑠璃光如来 There are many ema votiv tablets under the tree and a large flag with eyes. source :　chaito wakako .

On their way, Anju and Zusio managed to escape from him, but their mother was forced to work all days and finally she lost her eye sight. After a while, these two, who came to save their mother, were surprised how wide the island is, and decided to find mother separately. When Anju came to kanoura, she found her old mother was driving the birds away, singing “I miss my Anju, Hoyareho~, I want to see my Zusio, Hoyareho~”. So, she was running toward her mother saying “Mom, it’s me!! I have been longing to see you again ” However, the blind mother, who has been needled by neighbor kids, didn’t believe that’s real Anju, hit her out by stick and finally Anju died.. When she heard that’s Anju from her fellow later, she broke down and cried. And she decided to go to see Zusio in Aikawa with the fellow. On the way, she could see Zusio again, and both shared the pleasure saying “Good staying Tassha” in this area(Basically, Tassha means “fine”) And as soon as Zusio washed his mother’s eyes with the water welling up from earth nearby, her eye sight got back. Since then, this place/spot still remains the name “Tassha” and people built Jizo for them. source : english.aikawa-yamaki.com Beside it is a wakimizu spring water with great healing power.
