Jurin-in Temple
奈良市十輪院町２７
A temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism located in Jurin-in-machi, Nara City. It features historic structures, including the main hall (hondo), which is a National Treasure, and the South Gate, designated as an Important Cultural Property.
History
Legend holds that the temple was founded in the Nara period when Asano no Sumimori Ushinushi received the former palace of Emperor Genpo as a grant. During the Kamakura period, it flourished as a temple dedicated to Jizo (the bodhisattva of compassion). It continued to develop as a temple for the Jizo faith among commoners through the medieval period. In the Edo period, Tokugawa Ieyasu donated land to the temple, leading to the restoration of the main hall and stone Jizo shrines, which contributed to the temple's prosperity.
