Mori Mitsuba Temple

さいたま市南区太田窪5丁目11−9 守光院

A Soto Zen Buddhist temple, it is also known as Gokoku-ji (Temple of the Pure Land) on Mount Gokoku. The principal image is a statue of Yakushi Nyorai (the Medicine Buddha).

History

The temple was founded by Sasaki Saburo Moritsuna, a vassal of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who enshrined the principal image upon his return from abroad. It was later revived during the Tensho era by Chiba no Suke Kunitatsu, the local lord, with Zen master Butsu-nichi Kinren serving as the founding abbot. In the second year of Keian (1649 CE), the temple received a formal imperial document confirming its land holdings.
