Seikakuji Temple
新宿区新宿２丁目１５−１８
A temple of the Jodo sect, officially named Juukozan Muryujouin Seikakuji. The grounds contain cultural assets such as a memorial stele for the Oikata women (prostitute courtesans) and Asahi Jizo, a Jizo statue enshrining a couple who died by mutual suicide.
History
Tradition holds that it was founded in 1594 CE (Bunroku 3). During the Edo period, it served as a temple for the Oikata women of Naito Shinjuku, a district that also prospered as a red-light district. It is also the burial place of the playwright Renkawa Shunmachi and the calendar scholar Tsukamoto Meiki.
