Genkuji Temple
台東区東上野６丁目１９−２
A Jodo sect temple located in Taito Ward, Tokyo, bearing the title Gozenzan Monjuin. The principal image is a statue of the Great Master Enku (Honen).
History
The founding is attributed to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who took refuge in the Jodo sect monk Doa (Enyu Doa Reimon) and, in 1604 CE (Keicho 9), granted the temple its land, buildings, and the name Genkuji. It was destroyed in the Meireki Great Fire and relocated to its current site, but has since been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt due to fires, earthquakes, and war damage.
