Hanganji Nanbo
日本、〒542-0082 大阪府大阪市中央区島之内2丁目10−14
A quasi-special head temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect located in Chuo Ward, Osaka, enshrining Benten (the goddess of wisdom and eloquence) as one of the Osaka Seven Lucky Gods.
History
Traditionally said to have been founded by Prince Shotoku during the reign of Empress Suiko, the temple flourished during the Heian period as the Shingon temple (Jingūji) of Ikuta Shrine. It was revived by Matsunaga Masahiro during the Eishō era and, in the Edo period, served as the head temple (Bettōji) of Ikuta Shrine, overseeing the Ikuta Tenbō (Ten Monasteries of Ikuta). Although it lost its temple lands due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it relocated to its current site in 1879 and was restored as Hanganji Nanbo in 1883.
