Seishin-in
京都市中京区中筋町４８７
A temple associated with Izumi Shikibu, commonly known as Izumi Shikibu-ji, belonging to the Sen'g-ji branch of the Shingon sect.
History
The temple's origins lie in Izumi Shikibu mourning her daughter and taking monastic vows following the teachings of Shonin Jo-ku. It was established as a corner of the Tohoku-in, founded by Fujiwara no Michinaga, and named Tohoku-in Seishin-in, with Izumi Shikibu serving as the first abbot. It moved south of Seigan-ji during the Kamakura period and became a sub-temple of Sen'g-ji. It relocated to its current location during the Tensho era.

What visitors say
Despite being located in the bustling Shin-Kyogoku shopping district, the temple grounds are compact and serene. Stone statues near the entrance and a distinctive Mani-kyu (a wheel of bells) with unique echo effects are scattered throughout. Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) are accepted at the Kuri (monks' quarters) behind the main hall. As a temple associated with Izumi Shikibu, it is a spot where one can feel a literary atmosphere.
