Houzuiji
京都市東山区三十三間堂廻り６５５
A temple associated with Emperor Go-Hakuryu, enshrining Fudomyo-o (Acala, the Immovable Wisdom King) as its principal image. It houses a statue of the Substitute Fudomyo-o, which is believed to date from the Heian period.
History
Established in the mid-12th century by Emperor Go-Hakuryu, the temple originally occupied a vast site. It was founded during the Heian period by Fujiwara no Toshi-mitsu, and during the period of Insei (cloistered rule), it housed the imperial residence known as the Houzuiji-den. It continued to exist until the late Edo period as a temple guarding the mausoleum of Emperor Go-Hakuryu, before being separated from the mausoleum during the Meiji era.
