Jodo Sect Kasagankyo Honkakuin Daiso-ji
〒160-0022 東京都新宿区新宿２丁目９−２
A Jodo Sect temple with the mountain name Kasagankyo and the court name Honkakuin. It houses statues of Enma (the judge of the afterlife) and Sasubozan (the old woman who strips the clothes of the dead), which have been revered by commoners since the Edo period, as well as the third station of the Edo Roppo (Six Jizo) pilgrimage.
History
The temple originated from a thatched hut called Daiso-an, founded by the monk Daiso around the first year of the Keicho era (1596 CE). In the eighth year of the Kanbun era (1668 CE), it was established as a formal temple with Daiso as the founding priest, after receiving a donation of the temple grounds from Shigeruyoshi, the eldest son of Naito Masakatsu. Subsequently, it served as the ancestral temple for the Naito clan of the Takato Domain, where the graves of successive domain lords and their family members were established.
