Nanpouzan Seihouin
太子町太子１６６３
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Taishi-cho, Osaka Prefecture, traditionally regarded as one of the oldest nuns' temples in Japan. Its main image (honzon) is an Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) statue, which is said to have been created by Prince Shotoku.
History
According to tradition, the temple was founded as a sub-temple (tato) of Eifukuji under the name Horakuji by three former maidservants (San'ni-kou) who became nuns after the death of Prince Shotoku in the 30th year of Empress Suiko's reign (622 CE). It declined in the early Edo period but was revived in 1639 CE (Kan'ei 16) by the nun Renyo Jusei of the Jodo-shu sect, at which time the name was changed to Seihouin. It is considered the first nuns' temple established in Japan.
