Daihoon-ji (Senbon Shakado)
京都市上京区溝前町１０３４
A temple of the Chizan sect of Shingon Buddhism, commonly known as Senbon Shakado (Hall of a Thousand Shakyamuni). Its main hall, the oldest extant structure in Kyoto that survived the Onin War, is designated as a National Treasure.
History
It is said to have been founded as a dojo (place of practice) by imperial decree of Emperor Yomei. It was revived in the early Kamakura period by the monk Gikuu, who propagated three Buddhist sects and prayed for the peace of the realm, leading to the temple being designated as an imperial prayer temple. During the Muromachi period, the monk Jikuu established the 'Senbon Shakyo Nenbutsu' (Chanting of the Name of the Thousand Shakyamuni).
