Mutsu Kokubuji Yakushi-do (Mutsu Kokubuji Temple Medicine Hall)
〒984-0047 宮城県仙台市若林区木ノ下３丁目８−１
Known as Gokuzan Ioin Kokubuji, the principal image is Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Tathagata). The temple features the Yakushi-do, designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan, along with surviving statues from the Kamakura period, including Fudo Myo-o (Acala), Bishamonten (Vaisravana), and the Twelve Divine Generals.
History
Established in the 740s CE during the Nara period by the will of Emperor Shomu, this was one of the Kokubuji (provincial temples). Although it declined during the Muromachi period, it was revived in the early 17th century by Date Masamune. Centered on the Yakushi-do, completed in 1607 CE, it flourished as a large temple complex with 25 monasteries. Many monasteries were abolished during the Meiji period, but the central halls, including the Yakushi-do, have been preserved.
