Myojoji
杉並区清水３丁目５−１０
Hokkozan Myojoji is a Nichiren sect temple located in Suginami Ward, Tokyo. In addition to the main deity, it enshrines a statue of Kishimojin (the guardian deity of childbirth) known for its efficacy in safe delivery, as well as Benzaiten (the goddess of arts and eloquence).
History
The temple's origins trace back to 1352 CE (Bunwa 1), when Nichiu Shonin, the third head of Nakayama Hokke-ji in Kozuke Province, built a hall by the Myojoji Pond and enshrined the Sanshiban-gami (the thirty guardian deities). In 1646 CE (Shoho 3), the shrine buildings were rebuilt, and the temple gained fame as a Goshuin temple after Tokugawa Iemitsu visited the site.
