Meionji (Meion Temple)

大田市大代町大家1310

A Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha temple located in Oita City, Shimane Prefecture, with the mountain name Butogozan (Buddha-Protecting Mountain). It has a history of producing monks, scholars, and literary figures.

History

Yamauchi Shinjuro (Yoan), a branch of the Yamauchi Kato clan, entered the Buddhist order after the Battle of Gessan Fuda Castle. He merged Butshinji and Sekkin Meionji to establish Butogozan Meionji. In 1620 CE (Genna 6), the temple converted to the Shinshu sect. Successive abbots have been scholars, monks, and literary figures. The 5th abbot, Shakko, achieved a revival of the temple and left behind many writings and calligraphic/painting works.
