Kiyomiyama Katoji Temple
島ååžäžå çºïŒïŒ
A temple with a history of relocation alongside the construction of Shimabara Castle. Within the precincts stands a large statue of the Buddha in parinirvana (final passing) measuring 8.1 meters in height, built to enshrine the souls of Matsukura Shigemasa, the founding lord of the Shimabara Domain, and Itakura Shigemasa, who died in battle at Hara Castle.
History
The temple was founded in 1558 CE (Eiroku 1) in Kitayuma. It was relocated to the outskirts of Shimabara in conjunction with the construction of Shimabara Castle by the Matsukura clan. Following the disaster known as the Shimabara Great Disaster, it was moved to its current location.
