Katsurinin
京都市左京区大原勝林院町１８７
A Tendaishu temple with the mountain name Uozan. The main deity is Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), and it is also known by the alternate names Mondoji (Temple of Questions and Answers) and Shoko-do (Hall of Evidence).
History
According to tradition, it was founded in 835 CE (Jowa 2) by Ennin and revived as Katsurinin in 1103 CE (Chowa 2) by Jakugen. In 1119 CE (Tenin 2), Ryonin established Raiogoin, and the two temples came to be collectively known as Uozan Daihara-ji. In the early Edo period, it was restored with the patronage of Tokugawa Iemitsu. Today, two temples remain: Hosenin and Jikkoin.
