A temple belonging to the Daitoku-ji branch of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, founded by Katakura Iwami-no-kami Sadamasa, the founder of the Sekishu style of the tea ceremony. Known as a temple of the tea ceremony, it features a shoin (Japanese-style reception room) and tea house designated as Important Cultural Properties, as well as a garden listed as a Place of Scenic Beauty and Historic Site.
History
Katakura Iwami-no-kami Sadamasa, the founder of the Sekishu style of the tea ceremony, established the temple in 1663 CE (Kanbun 3) as a memorial temple for his father, Sadataka. He invited the monk Gyoshu, the 185th abbot of Daitoku-ji, to serve as the founding priest. The name Jikoin was derived from his father's posthumous name, Jikoin-den Setsutei Soryu Koji.
