Zui-ji

京都市中京区木屋町通三条石屋町114

4.3(228)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple of the Nishiyama Zenrin-ji branch, dedicated to the spiritual welfare of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's nephew, Toyotomi Hidetsugu, his family, and his retainers. The grounds feature Hidetsugu's grave, 49 five-ring stupas (gorintō) enshrining his family and retainers, and a Jizo Hall.

History

Founded at the site of the mound of the Toyotomi Hidetsugu clan, the temple was established with Rikukō Keishuku as its founding abbot to mourn Hidetsugu. For 400 years, Zui-ji has offered prayers for the souls of Hidetsugu, who was sentenced to death in the Hidetsugu Incident, as well as his family and retainers who were implicated. The main hall, which burned down in the Tenmei Great Fire, was later rebuilt. In 1941, the Toyoko-kai Foundation, established by Konosuke Matsushita and others, restored the graves of the Hidetsugu family and retainers, as well as the Jizo Hall.
