Wakouji Temple
大阪市西区北堀江３丁目７−２７
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple led by a female abbot (niso). It was established as a sacred site where the main statue of Senkoji appeared, and the grounds feature the Amida Pond.
History
In 1698 CE (Genroku 11), during the development of the Horikawa Shinchi district, Master Chizen established the temple as a sacred site associated with the appearance of the main statue of Senkoji. By order of the Edo Shogunate, it was designated as a temple for the eternal repose of the dead (Eidaiji-chi). In 1699 CE (Genroku 12), a gilt-bronze statue of Amida Buddha was brought from Senkoji and enshrined as the main deity. The main hall and other structures were destroyed in the 1945 Osaka air raids, but they were rebuilt in the post-war period.
