Nochuji Former Karama Site

羽曳野市5丁目9

The Nochuji Former Karama (temple complex) Site is a National Historic Site where foundation stones remain that demonstrate the Horyu-ji style temple layout. It is located within the precincts of Nochuji Temple, a temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect.

History

According to tradition, it is one of the 48 temples founded by Prince Shotoku and is said to have been established by Soga no Maro. Excavation surveys suggest the possibility of its founding around 650 CE (Hakuchi 1), and a large-scale temple complex existed from the Asuka period to the early Nara period. Although the halls and pagodas were destroyed by fire during conflicts such as the Nochuji Battle in the Nanbokucho period, the temple was revived in 1661 CE (Kanbun 1) and flourished during the Edo period as one of the three great monasteries of the Ritsuin (Vinaya) schools.
