Domeiji (Domei Shrine)

藤井寺市道明寺1丁目14−31

4.1(309)

A nunnery of the Onjo-ji branch of the Shingon sect, enshrining the Eleven-Faced Kannon as its principal image. It is known as a site associated with Sugawara no Michizane.

History

In the 6th century, it was established through the donation of a residence of the Hasui clan, following a vow by Prince Shotoku to build a nunnery. In 901 CE (Engi 1), Sugawara no Michizane visited his aunt at the temple. After his death, it was renamed from Toshi-ji to Domeiji to enshrine him. During the Kamakura period, it became a branch temple of Sai-dai-ji and a temple for prayers by the shogunate. In the Meiji era, following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, it was separated from Tenmangu and relocated to its current location.

What visitors say

The grounds are covered with white sand and are very well maintained. Seasonal flowers, such as the plum blossoms before the mountain gate and the weeping cherry blossoms along the approach path, are also highlights. The national treasure, the standing image of the Eleven-Faced Kannon Bodhisattva, is opened for viewing on the 18th and 25th of every month. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) can be obtained in front of the main hall, and benches are provided in the surrounding area.
