Ten'on-zan Gojurokannon-ji (Five Hundred Arhats Temple on Mount Ten'on)
目黒区下目黒３丁目２０−１１
An independent temple of the Jodo-shu (Pure Land) sect that enshrines over 300 statues of arhats (enlightened disciples of the Buddha). It houses the iconic Five Hundred Arhats statues, carved by the founder, Shoun Genkei, which represent the pinnacle of Edo-period sculpture.
History
Founded in the 8th year of Genroku (1695 CE) by Shoun Genkei, with Tetsugen Dokou serving as the founding abbot. Initially located in Honjo, the temple declined due to flooding and was relocated to Meguro during the Meiji era. During the Edo period, the great architect Zenshin expanded the temple complex, and Shoun Genkei single-handedly carved the Five Hundred Arhats statues that are now enshrined there.
