Iehara-ji Main Hall (Monju-do)
堺市西区家原寺町１丁８−２０
A temple popularly known as the "Monju of Wisdom" for prayers for passing exams. It was formerly called the "Graffiti Temple" because visitors would write their wishes on the walls, but it is now known as the "Handkerchief Temple" because wishes are written on handkerchiefs and pasted up.
History
The temple is said to have originated in 704 CE (Keiun 1) when the monk Gyoki converted his family home into a temple. It was revived in 1245 CE (Kangen 3) by the monk Eison. During the Edo period, the Tada family made donations to the temple. It fell into ruin during the Haibutsu Kishaku (anti-Buddhist movement) at the beginning of the Meiji era. In 2018, it became an independent temple under the name Gyoki-shu, separating from the Koyasan Shingon sect.
