Dharma-ji West Gate
王寺町本町２丁目１−５３
A temple of the Rinzai Zen sect's Nanzen-ji branch located in Ohji Town, Nara Prefecture. It enshrines the principal image of Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon), the Dharma Master statue designated as an Important Cultural Property, and a statue of Prince Shotoku.
History
The temple's origin is said to stem from a legend in which Prince Shotoku provided food and clothing to a starving stranger at Katakagayama, after which he carved a statue of Bodhidharma (Dharma) and enshrined it. It came to be called Dharma-ji during the Kamakura period. Following repeated fires, it was repeatedly revived with support from figures such as Shujitsu, Toyotomi Hideyori, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
