Rinsenji
京都市右京区嵯峨天龍寺造路町33−33
A sub-temple of Tenryu-ji, this Rinzai Zen sect temple (Tenryu-ji branch) enshrines Muso Soseki.
History
Established in 1335 CE (Kenmu 2) on the site of the former Kawabata-den, a subsidiary palace of Emperor Kameyama, with Muso Soseki as its founding monk. Muso Soseki lived in seclusion at this temple and passed away there. It was once ranked among the Kyoto Gosan (Five Mountains) by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, but was later downgraded to the Jissatsu (Ten Temples) category.
