Manzokuzan Kichijoji
大阪市天王寺区六万体町１−２０
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, with the mountain name Manzokuzan. It houses the graves of the Ako Ronin (the loyal retainers of the Ako domain), and a memorial ceremony for the righteous warriors (Gishi-sai) is held every year on the second Sunday of December.
History
Founded in 1630 CE (Kangyo 7) and rebuilt in 1711 CE (Shotoku 1), it served as a prayer site for the Asano family, the lords of the Ako domain. It contains the graves and stone statues of the Ako Ronin. The temple burned down completely in 1916 CE (Taisho 5) and was rebuilt in 1925 CE (Taisho 14), but it suffered devastating damage again during the air raids of 1945 CE (Sho 20).

This temple is notable for its graves and stone statues of the Ako Ronin, as well as its distinctive walls featuring a 'dandara' (flame) pattern that mimics the fire-resistant clothing worn by the warriors. A large statue of Oishi Kuranosuke stands at the main gate, and the grounds feature dynamic stone statues of the loyal retainers. The Gishi-sai (memorial ceremony for the righteous warriors) is held on the second Sunday of December each year, drawing a lively crowd.
