Tōsen-ji

Narihira-san Tōsen-ji (業平山東泉寺) is a Buddhist temple in Katsushika, Tokyo, near the Yamamoto House and Mizumoto City Park.

In The Case of the Bound Jizo or Suspect Statue, Ōoka Tadasuke was called upon to discover the thief of a cartload of cloth from a local kimono maker.

Ōoka ordered a statue of Jizo of the Narihira-san Tōsen-ji, a temple in Tokyo, to be bound and brought forth to be called to answer for dereliction of its custodial duty.

The spectator, who was the actual thief, was arrested, and Ōoka ordered the Jizo statue released as having discharged his duty.

The statue still stands, and is wrapped in rope tied by hopeful victims of thieves.
