Un'ganji (Un'ganji-ji)
〒324-0213 栃木県大田原市雲岩寺２７
A historic Rinzai Zen training monastery located in Ohtawara City, Tochigi Prefecture, once known as one of the four great Zen training grounds in Japan. It is also famous as a stop visited by Matsuo Basho during his journey recorded in 'Oku no Hosomichi' (The Narrow Road to the Deep North).
History
Founded in the late Heian period during the Daiji era by the monk So-gen. Later, Takamine Kinnichi (the National Preceptor of the Buddha's Country) rebuilt it as a Rinzai Zen temple with Hojo Tokiyoshi serving as its great patron. In the sixth year of the Tensho era, the temple converted to the Myoshin-ji branch of the Rinzai school. Today, it continues to operate as an independent temple and training monastery.
