History
Hosokawa Ryudo Hosokawa. Founding chief priest of Otaru Shogyoji Temple. Born in 1909 (Meiji 42) in Ozawa Village (currently Kyowa Town, Iwanai District, Hokkaido). Born as the third son of a farmer. She used to teach as an elementary school teacher, but was forced to retire due to illness. Afterwards, he became a monk of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect. Engaged in legal affairs as a priest at Otaru Betsuin. Afterwards, he opened a preaching station in Shioya. In 1948 (Showa 23), Otaru Shogyoji Temple was built in the current Nagahashi area. Ryudōshi's missionary activities were unique in that they used a projector, which was rare at the time. For this reason, some followers and monks called him ``Hosokawa the Projector''. His image of him carrying a projector and enthusiastically proselytizing is still talked about today. The current Otaru Shogyoji Temple was rebuilt in 1983 by the second chief priest, Reverend Shoichi Sato.
