Kinzouji Temple
足立区千住２丁目６３
A Shingon Hyossan-ha sect temple located in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, known as a 'Nagekomi-ji' (a temple that accepts burials for those who died without a family or fixed residence), specifically for courtesans who died in the Okaba district.
History
Founded in 1335 CE (Kenmu 2), this Shingon Hyossan-ha sect temple originally enshrined Jizō Bosatsu (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) as its main deity, but now enshrines Enma Ōō (the King of Yama, the judge of the dead). The temple grounds feature a 'Muen-tō' (a stupa for the unattached or those without family) commemorating victims of the Tenpō Famine, as well as a stone monument honoring courtesans.
