Iehara-ji Sanju-no-to (Iehara-ji Three-Story Pagoda)

堺市西区家原寺町1丁8

4.3(3)

A standalone temple located in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, affectionately known locally as the 'Mandala of Wisdom' (Chie no Monju-sama). It is renowned as a temple for praying for academic success and is currently famous as the 'Handkerchief Temple' (Handkerchief-ji), where visitors write their wishes on handkerchiefs and attach them to the structure.

History

The temple's origins are said to date back to 704 CE (Keiun 1), when the monk Gyo-ki converted his family home into a temple. It was re-established in 1245 CE (Kangen 3) by the monk Eison. During the Edo period, the Tada clan made donations to the temple. It fell into disrepair following the anti-Buddhist movement (Haibutsu Kishaku) in the early Meiji era. The three-story pagoda was rebuilt in 1989, and in 2018, the temple became independent from the Koyasan Shingon sect.
