Hozoji (Hozo-ji Temple)
京都市中京区裏寺町５８７
A temple of the Nishi Honganji school of Jodo-shu (Pure Land Buddhism), specifically the Nishiyama Fukakusa branch, known for its connection to the artist Ito Jakuchu.
History
Founded by Kukai, the temple declined before being revived in 1259 CE (Bun'ei 6) by Jorin in the former Nishinomo district. It was revived again in 1581 CE (Tensho 9) by the priest Gyoka Rishi. In 1591 CE (Tensho 19), it was relocated to the current location in Ura-temachi (Back Temple Town) as part of the temple town development led by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The temple was completely destroyed by fire during the Kinmon Incident in 1864 CE (Genji 1) but was subsequently rebuilt.
