Daijō-ji

鎌倉市 岩瀬1464

A Jōdo-shū (Pure Land) temple located in Iwase, Kamakura City. Its principal image is Amida Nyorai (Amitābha Buddha). The temple houses treasures associated with the Hōjō clan, as well as a ginkgo tree said to have been planted by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

History

Founded in 1548 by Hōjō Ujikata, the lord of Tamagawa Castle, to offer prayers for his mother. It subsequently received the devotion of successive generations of the Hōjō clan, and many temple treasures associated with the Hōjō are preserved to this day. The temple also had connections with Tokugawa Ieyasu. It was renamed Daijō-ji in reference to its mountain name, Kikyō-zan (Turtle Mirror Mountain).
