Manfukuji Shakyado (Manfukuji Buddha Hall)

山口市嘉川宮原

A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, situated on the site of the former Ouchi clan residence. It houses the Shakyado (Buddha Hall), a National Important Cultural Property, and preserves valuable historical materials that convey the legacy of Ouchi culture.

History

The temple's origins trace back to Suionji, founded by Ouchi Mitsumori during the Ken'ei era. In 1454 CE (Kotoku 3), Ouchi Nobuhiro re-established and revitalized the temple, converting it to the Soto Zen sect. After being destroyed by fire following the Onin War (specifically the Ouchi clan's internal strife known as the Daiei Incident), it was relocated to its current site (the former Ouchi residence) and rebuilt in 1556 CE (Koji 3) under the patronage of Mori Takayoshi, serving as the memorial temple for Ouchi Yoshitaka, who died by suicide.
