Hokke-shu Betsuin Honmyoji (Hokke Sect Branch Temple Honmyoji)
豊島区巣鴨５丁目３５−６
A branch temple of the Hokke-shu (Jinmon-ryu) sect, with the mountain name Tokueizan and the temple name Sojion. The principal image is the Jukai Kanjun Mandara (a mandala inviting the ten realms of existence).
History
The temple was founded in 1571 CE (Genki 2) by Nichikei of Chizon-in, established by retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu. There are theories that it was the origin of the Meireki Fire, and it has a history of being appointed as the head of the shogunate. In 1908 CE (Meiji 41), it was relocated to its current site in Suginami, Toshima Ward, for the reconstruction of the head temple Honjoji.
