Soji-ji
〒567-0801 大阪府茨木市総持寺１丁目６−１
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect and the 22nd station of the Saikoku Sanjusan Kannon pilgrimage. It enshrines Fujiwara no Sain, known as the founder of the Way of the Cleaver (Bōchō-dō), and is also renowned for the traditional 'Sain-ryū Bōchō-shiki' (Sain-style cleaver ritual).
History
The temple's origin is said to be when its founder, Fujiwara no Sain, fulfilled his father's last wish by commissioning and enshrining a statue of Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon). During the Heian period, it flourished as an imperial temple under the patronage of Emperor Ichijō and others. However, it declined due to the fires of Oda Nobunaga's army and was later rebuilt in 1603 CE (Keichō 8) by Toyotomi Hideyori.
