Tohak-ji
北区田端２丁目７−３
A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Kita Ward, Tokyo, known for the 'Red Paper Nio,' a Nio guardian statue believed to cure illness when a person suffering from a disease attaches a red paper to it.
History
Founded in 1491 CE (Entoku 3) by Gen Miga in Kanda, the temple later moved through Nagisa and was relocated to its current site in Tabata around 1600 CE (Keian era). During the Edo period, it served as the betto (head temple) of Tabata Hachiman Shrine. In the Meiji era, the Nio statues were relocated due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, and they are now designated as a cultural property of Kita Ward.
