Seiganji Temple

名古屋市熱田区白鳥2丁目10−12

A temple of the Nishi Hongwanji sect, also known as the birthplace of Minamoto no Yoritomo. The main hall and the mountain gate display the Aoi (Hollyhock) crest, reflecting the temple's connection to its founder and the influence of the Owari Domain.

History

Founded in 1529 CE (Joroku 2) on the site of a branch residence of the Fujiwara clan, who served as the Grand Priest of Atsuta Jingu (Atsuta Grand Shrine). The founder, Zenko Shonin, established the temple with the support of Oda Nobuhide. It was destroyed by fire in 1600 CE (Keicho 5) but was rebuilt by order of Toyotomi Hideyori. Later, the Owari Domain carried out repairs and donations. The temple was destroyed again by air raids in 1945 CE (Shōwa 20) and was rebuilt in the post-war period.
