Banpukuji Temple
大田区南馬込１丁目４９−１
A Soto sect temple located in Ota Ward, Tokyo, enshrining the Amitabha Trinity (Amida Sandon) as its principal image. It is also known for the fact that the poet Shimojo Seihe once resided on land adjacent to the temple grounds.
History
The temple is said to have been founded in 1192 CE (Kenkyu 3) by Kajiwara Kagehara at the order of Minamoto no Yoritomo. It was later relocated to its current site in Komagome. Although it fell into disrepair during the late Muromachi period, it was re-established as a Soto sect temple in 1575 CE (Tensho 3) by Meido Bunryu. There is a legend that when Nichiren passed through Komagome and sought lodging, the abbot readily agreed to provide him with a room.
