Rinzai-shu Kokutai-ji-ha

高岡市太田184

The head temple of the Rinzai-shu Kokutai-ji-ha sect, located in Takayama City, Toyama Prefecture, with the mountain name Matou-zan. It is also the head temple of the Myonin-kai (a group of wandering monks).

History

Founded in 1296 CE as a thatched hut established by Jion Myoui on Mt. Futagamine, the temple was formally established as Matou-zan Higashimatsu-ji in 1304 CE. In 1328 CE, Emperor Go-Daigo bestowed the title Gokoku Matou Kyozan Kokutai Niou Manzen Zenji. Although it was destroyed by fire during the Sengoku period, it was restored with the support of the Jinnai clan. During the Edo period, it was designated as the head temple of the Hotou-ha branch by Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.
