During the Middle Ages, 新井三郎盛久 the Samuri Arai Saburo Morihisa wanted to avoid the fighting and moved to 武蔵国豊島郡の志村庄 an estate in Shimura, usashino,
He developed the land and built 蓮沼村 the village Hasunuma (lotus swamp).
The village developed well and to give them a Buddhist protector deity, he asked 宥照上人 Saint Yusho to built the temple at the bottom of 志村坂下 Shimurasaka slope.
The grand-child of Morihisa had a special statue of 十一面観世音菩薩 Kannon Bosatsu with 12 heads made, and also a statue of 弘法大師空海 Kobo Daishi, maybe carved by Kobo Daishi himself.
