Kujōyama Jōgyō-ji
奈良市上三条町18番地
A temple of the Hongwan-ji branch of Jōdo Shinshū (True Pure Land Buddhism), with the mountain name Kujōyama. The principal image is a standing statue of Amida Buddha, traditionally said to date from the Kamakura period.
History
The founding monk, Gyōen, was a direct disciple of Shinran Shōnin and took monastic vows in 1244 CE (Kangen 2). It became an imperial patronage temple under Emperor Kōmyō of the Northern Court, receiving the title 'Shōbutsu Myōin.' It was also praised by Sen'nyū Shōnin for its loyalty during the Battle of Ishiyama, earning the title 'Jōgyō-ji.' Tokugawa Ieyasu granted the temple land for its relocation to its current location.
