京都市上京区智恵光院上立売聖天町９−３
Kitagōyama Uho-in Daisei Kan'ji-ji (Nishijin Seiten) is a Shingon sect temple belonging to the Izumi-ji branch, located in Nakagyō-ku, Kyoto City. Its principal image is Kannon (the Bodhisattva of Compassion), and it houses a standing statue of Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon) designated as an Important Cultural Property.
History
According to tradition, in 821 CE (Kōnin 12), Kūkai performed the ritual of three bows and one strike (ittō sanrei) to Kannon and prayed for the recovery of Emperor Saga's illness, which resulted in a miraculous cure. The temple buildings were destroyed during the Ōnin War, but the temple was rebuilt in the Tenshō period and reconstructed again after the Tenmei Great Fire.
