Nijusan-zan Son Keiganki-ji
〒310-0052 茨城県水戸市松本町１３−１９
A temple of the Shingon Hossu-ji sect located in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture, also known by the alternate name Nijusan-zan Son (Twenty-Third Night Venerable). It enshrines a statue of Jizai Bosatsu (Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva), traditionally attributed to the monk Gyo-ki, as its principal image.
History
In 1682, Naka-yama Shinji, a senior retainer of the Mito Domain, relocated the temple Fumon-ji from Aza-machi to establish this site in order to commemorate the late predecessor. It was named Ho-wa-in by Tokugawa Mitsukuni. In 1755, it was renamed Keiganki-ji upon becoming a branch temple of Ninna-ji and adopting the Ritsu sect. It currently belongs to the Shingon Hossu-ji sect of the Shingon Buddhism tradition.
