Meizenji Kuri
白川村荻町６７９
A temple of the Jodo Shinshu Otani-ha sect located in Shirakawa-cho, Gifu Prefecture, known for its gassho-zukuri (praying hands) architecture. The kuri (monks' quarters) functions as a local heritage museum collecting regional materials and attracts many tourists.
History
In 1736 CE (Bunbun 1), when Gen sai founded the temple of the Otani-ha sect, the principal image was bestowed. In 1744 CE (Enkyo 1), the head temple granted permission for the temple name, and it began to be called Shomatsuzan Meizenji. The kuri, built in 1817 CE (Bunka 12), is designated as a cultural property of Gifu Prefecture.
