Horyin-san Dongsen-ji (Rinzai-shu Myoshin-ji-ha)

山県市高富688

A Rinzai-shu Myoshin-ji-ha temple enshrining the Sacred Kannon (Avalokiteshvara) as its principal image. It serves as the family temple for the Honjo clan of Takatomi Domain and is the 58th station of the Mino Shikoku pilgrimage.

History

The temple originated as a simple hermitage called Gyodō-an, founded in 1339 CE (Eien 4) by Myōchi-ni to honor the memory of Sugiya Yoshisuke, a Southern Court general. In 1599 CE (Keichō 5), the local magistrate Yamada Rokubē invited the Zen master Junyan to relocate the temple to the present site in the village of Nichidō, renaming it Dongsen-ji. It subsequently became the family temple for the Honjo clan, the lords of Takatomi Domain, and now enshrines the memorial tablet of the first domain lord.
