Daikouji
鎌倉市小町１丁目９−２８ 大巧寺
A Nichiren sect temple in Kamakura City, also known as Onmesama, renowned for prayers for safe childbirth.
History
Originally a Shingon sect temple named Daijouji located within the residence of Kajiwara Kageyoshi, it later became a place of prayer for Minamoto no Yoritomo. It was renamed Daikouji to commemorate a victory in a military council. In 1274 CE (Bun'ei 11), Nichinyu converted the temple to the Nichiren sect, and it relocated to its current site in 1321 CE (Gen'ō 2). In 1532 CE (Tenshō 1), it became known as a temple for safe childbirth prayers due to a legend that Nichido helped the spirit of a woman who died in difficult labor attain enlightenment.
