Kokubunji (National Temple)
大津市別保１丁目１２−６
A general term for temples ordered to be built in every province across the country by Emperor Shōmu. The site of one such temple exists in Ōtsu City, Shiga Prefecture.
History
In 741 CE (Tenpyō 13), Emperor Shōmu ordered the construction of temples in each province to protect the nation through Buddhism. These were divided into Kokubun Sōji (monks' temples) and Kokubun Ni-ji (nuns' temples). The monks' temples were designated as temples of the Golden Light Sutra and the Four Heavenly Kings for the protection of the nation, while the nuns' temples were designated as temples of the Lotus Sutra for the extinguishment of sins.
