Obaku Sect Ushuzan Kofuku-ji Temple

〒131-0033 東京都墨田区向島5丁目3−2

4.2(27)

This is a temple of the Obaku sect that enshrines Hotei, one of the Sumida River Seven Lucky Gods. Notable features include the main hall with Tang-style architectural characteristics and the statues of the Coughing Old Man and Woman, who are worshipped for protection against colds.

History

The temple originated from a small hermitage located in Sumida Village, Kasumigashima. It was founded in 1673 CE (Enpo 6) by Zen Master Tetsu Do-ki as Kofuku-ji Temple of the Obaku sect. The temple grounds were granted on the site of the former castle of Ushijima-dono of the Edo clan, where it remains today. Although the temple buildings were destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake, they were rebuilt in 1933 CE (Showa 8).
