But even so, he still raised a cat and he loved so much that he shared his meager daily meals One day, he asked the cat to bring fortune to the temple.



Shortly after, a samurai visited the temple and told that the cat had beckoned to them. After listening to the master's teachings, the samurai were touched and a samurai introduced himself as Naotaka Li, the lord of the Hikone region, Koshu province. Naotaka contributed to the temple a lot of rice fields and land, and since then, the small hut has turned into a large temple.
