Kawano Shoumyouji

笠松町円城寺1023

3.0(2)

A Jodo Shinshu Otani-ha temple enshrining Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) as its principal image. It is one of the Kawano Kumonto (Nine Monasteries of Kawano) and is known as the origin of Jodo Shinshu temples in the Nono-Omi region.

History

Founded in 784 CE (Enryaku 3) by Dengyo Daishi as the Tendai sect temple Enyuji. In 1235 CE (Kagei 1), Zenkai took refuge in Shonin and renamed the temple Shoumyouji, making it one of the Kawano Kumonto that marked the beginning of Jodo Shinshu propagation in the Nono-Omi region. In 1758 CE (Houryaku 8), the prefix Kawano was added to the temple name, and in 1876 CE (Meiji 9), it became a Kanpatsu (head temple under the Kyoto branch).
