Myokoji

一宮市大和町妙興寺妙興寺境内

A major temple of the Myoshinji school of the Rinzai sect located in Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture. It is also known as a place where Uesugi Shingen, the founder of the Shinkage-ryu swordsmanship style, practiced his training.

History

Founded in 1348 by Messhu Suko, the second son of Nakajima Kuronin, to express gratitude to his parents. Nanpu Shomei was invited as the founding priest. Later, the temple received its name from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and became a temple under imperial patronage of Emperor Go-Kogon. Although it declined during the Sengoku period, it was revived through donations from Toyotomi Hideyoshi and is now one of the largest Zen temples in the Owari region.
