Dan'ou Borinji Temple
京都市左京区36 (川端通三条法林寺門前町３６ だん王法林寺
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple founded by Fuchinaka Yoshisada. It is affectionately known as "Dan'ou-san" (Master Dan'ou), a nickname derived from the title of its second abbot, Dan'ou Ryosen, who was renowned for his moral character.
History
This Jodo-shu temple was founded by Fuchinaka, who returned to Japan from the Ryukyu Kingdom. The current temple name became established because people called the second abbot, Dan'ou Ryosen, "Dan'ou-san." In the ninth year of the Gen'wa era (1623 CE), the main hall was built to enshrine a standing statue of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), which is traditionally attributed to the monk Eshin Sontoku.
