Fire-preventing Daruma 火防達磨
Hibuse Daruma

（ひぶせだるま）

At Temple Junshin-Ji 順心寺
兵庫県西宮市 Hyogo prefecture, Nishinomiya Town

Combined with a prayer for the no more war !

In this temple, there was a great statue of Daruma before WW II, but it was later given to a temple in Kobe and then Tokyo.
Kobe was destroyed by the war in 昭和２０年３月１７日と６月５日. More than 56.000 people of Kobe perished.

The head priest of Junshin-Ji later lent his Daruma statue to a temple in Kobe, which had not been completely destroyed.
The head priest died very suddenly after that and the Daruma statue never returned.




But after 60 years "in exile", this statue finally returned.
The present priest named it again, this time "fire-preventing Daruma", in the hope for no mor war in the world.
