Ottori-ji Temple: Eternal Incense Burner

胎内市乙1123

A Shingon Chisan sect temple located in Tainai City, Niigata Prefecture, featuring historic structures such as the Important Cultural Property triple pagoda and the Dainichi Hall.

History

It is said to have been founded in 736 CE (Tenpyo 8) by Kobo Daishi and other monks, including the Brahman priest, under an imperial edict from Emperor Shomu. It was originally called "Otto-ji" because it enshrined the left eye of the Buddha, and later the character for "treasure" was added to the name, resulting in "Ottori-ji." During the Muromachi period, it received donations from the Uesugi clan, and in the early modern period, it was deeply supported by Murakami Yoshimasa.
