Kohokuzan Fudo-in Kaisando
京都市伏見区竹田浄菩提院町
A temple affiliated with the Tendai sect, enshrining Fudo Myo-o (the Wisdom King of Immovable Wisdom) as its principal image. The statue faces north, symbolizing the protection of the Heian capital.
History
Established as a temple under imperial patronage in 1120 CE (Daichi 5), with Kakuban as its founding monk, who performed prayers for the recovery of Emperor Toba. The temple is named Kohokuzan (Northward-Facing Mountain) because the principal image of Fudo Myo-o faces north toward the Heian capital to protect it. The current main hall was relocated here from the palace of Emperor Toho, which was bestowed by Emperor Reigen in 1712 CE (Shoto 2).
