Komyo-ji
鎌倉市材木座６丁目１７−１９
A head temple of the Jodo (Pure Land) sect located in Kamakura City, Komyo-ji is known by the mountain name Tenjo-zan and the temple name Renge-in. It is a temple that houses numerous cultural properties, including the main hall, which is an Important Cultural Property, and the Atsuma Mandara Engi (a narrative painting depicting the origins of the Atsuma Mandala), which is a National Treasure.
History
The temple originated from Renge-ji, founded in 1240 CE (Ninji 1) in the Sasa-ga-tani area. In 1243 CE (Kangen 1), it was relocated to its current site and renamed Komyo-ji. During the Muromachi period, it was restored by Yushu. In 1495 CE (Meiyo 4), it was designated as a Chogon-ji (a temple under imperial patronage) by Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado. In the early modern period, it flourished as the first-ranked temple among the Kanto Juhachi Danrin (the eighteen major monastic schools of the Jodo sect in the Kanto region).
