Josenji Temple
〒242-0024 神奈川県大和市福田２１７６
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is known as the 'Temple of Flowers' for its beautiful floral displays and the 'Temple of Kappa' due to the many statues of Kappa (mythical water creatures) found on its grounds.
History
Founded in 1588 CE (Tensho 16) by Sekisui Izen, a pioneer of the local area. The temple's mountain name and temple name are derived from Sekisui Izen's dharma name, 'Seiryu Josen Zendo Mon.' During the Edo period, the temple came under the jurisdiction of the hatamoto (direct vassals of the shogun) Nakane Masamori, and the Nakane family graves are located in the cemetery.
