Mikazuki Hall
京都市下京区堀川通花屋町本願寺門前町
A National Treasure located within the precincts of Nishi Hongan-ji. It is the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha school and is also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
History
The current Nishi Hongan-ji was established based on the Mikazuki Hall, which was relocated from Osaka Tenman in 1591 CE (Tensho 19) through the donation of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Although the hall collapsed during the 1596 CE (Bunroku 5) Keicho-Fushimi earthquake, it was rebuilt and completed the following year in 1597 CE (Keicho 2). The Mikazuki Hall and Amida Hall established by the monk Kyoju as his hermitage became the seed for the later schism of the Hongan-ji temple.
