Nakanoji Jizodo (Nakanoji Jizo Hall)

羽曳野市野々上5丁目9−24

4.0(2)

A temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, known as the 'Middle Prince' (Naka no Taishi), traditionally founded by Prince Shotoku. The grounds house important cultural properties, including a bronze Miroku Bosatsu (Bodhisattva Maitreya) half-lotus statue, and the site of the former Nakanoji temple complex, which is designated as a National Historic Site.

History

According to tradition, it is one of the 48 temples founded by Prince Shotoku, with Soga no Maro credited as the founder under the Prince's orders. Excavation surveys suggest the possibility of its founding around 650 CE (Hakui 1), and theories propose it was the clan temple of the Funade clan. The temple was destroyed by fire during the Nakanoji Battle in the Nanbokucho period but was revived in 1661 CE (Kanbun 1). During the Edo period, it flourished as one of the three great monasteries of the Ritsuin sect.
