Isshin-ji
大阪市天王寺区逢阪２丁目８−６９
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, widely known as a temple of bone Buddhas. Open year-round, it performs Shikigai (feeding of hungry ghosts) rituals and maintains the tradition of crushing cremated remains from across the country to create statues of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha).
History
The temple's origins are said to date back to 1225 CE (Bunji 1), when Honen established a thatched hut near the slope of the West Gate of Shitenno-ji and resided there as 'Genku-an.' In 1596 CE (Keicho 1), the monk Hon'yo Sonmu conducted Nembutsu (recitation of the Buddha's name) practices at this site and revived the temple as 'Isshin-ji,' emphasizing single-minded devotion. The temple received the mountain name 'Bakusho-san' and the court name 'Takotaku-in' from Tokugawa Ieyasu, which established its current formal name.
