Daijoji Monzeki
京都市上京区烏丸通今出川御所八幡町烏丸通今出川上る１０９ 大聖寺
Located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, this is a nimonjaku (nun's monastery) with ties to the Imperial Family, where 24 successive princesses (naishinnō) have served as abbesses.
History
The temple's origins trace back to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, who established it after housing the nun Teien Zeni in the Okamatsu-dono residence, naming it after her dharma name. It subsequently relocated several times to Hase and Bisamondō. After burning down in 1673 CE (Enpō 1), it was rebuilt at its current location in 1697 CE (Genroku 10). When a princess of Emperor Saikyo entered the temple, it received an imperial decree designating it as the foremost nun's monastery, and came to be known as a nimonjaku temple with the title 'Imperial Palace' (Gosha Gosho).
