Kairyu-ji Temple

〒320-0037 栃木県宇都宮市清住1丁目3−37

4.3(38)

A Soto sect Buddhist temple located in Utsunomiya City, Tochigi Prefecture, with the mountain name Shoho-san (Peak of Pines). It houses cultural assets including the Prefecturally Designated 'Sakyamuni Triad and Sixteen Arhats' painting and the Municipally Designated standing statue of Seiganto Kannon (Avalokitesvara).

History

This Soto sect temple was founded in 1396 by Utsunomiya Mitsutsuna, the 12th head of the Shimotsuke Utsunomiya clan. Although it was destroyed by arson set by the Aizu Domain during the Boshin War, it was subsequently rebuilt. During the Meiji period, a portion of the hair of Gamo Kunpei, a pioneer of the Sonnō joi (Revere the Emperor, Expel the Barbarians) movement, was interred here, and a tombstone was erected.
