Akayama Zenin Nangyojo (Akayama Zenin Sutra Copying Office)

京都市左京区

4.0(1)

A Tendai sect temple located in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, and one of the branch temples of Enryaku-ji. Because it faces the 'Demon Gate' (the northeast direction) of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, it has long been revered as a deity for warding off evil from that direction.

History

It is said to have been founded in 888 CE (Ninna 4) by An'e. The establishment of the Zenin is attributed to the vow made by the monk Ennin, who had returned from China, to build a temple inspired by the Akayama Hokke-in where he had stayed. Even after the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the Meiji era, it has retained its form of mixed Shinto-Buddhist practice to the present day.
