Jōgani-in
京都市左京区北白川仕伏町８３
The 19th temple of the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and the only nunnery in the circuit, this is a Tendai sect temple. The principal image is Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon), and in recent years, the temple has also become known as the 'Temple of Cats.'
History
In 1004 CE (Kankō 1), the monk Gyōen rebuilt the Ichi-jō Kitabe-dō on its original site and renamed it Gyōgan-ji. Gyōen, who entered the Buddhist order after realizing the sin of killing living beings, was known as 'Higami' (Skin Saint) because he wore a female deer's hide, and the temple is also referred to as Kawara-dō (Leather Hall). Following Toyotomi Hideyoshi's urban planning and the Hōei Great Fire, the temple was relocated to its current location.
