Seishoji (Seisho-ji)
北区赤羽西１丁目２１−１７
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Kita Ward, Tokyo, known as the family temple of the Ota clan. The area surrounding the temple, including the site of Inadate Castle, is designated as a historical site by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
History
The temple's origins trace back to 1504 CE, when Unjo, the teacher of Ota Dōgon, established a hall to mourn Dōgon. In 1655 CE (Meirei 1), Ota Munemune renovated the halls and changed the temple's name to Jidokuzan Seishoji, based on the posthumous names of Ota Dōgon and his father. Throughout the Edo period, it served as the family temple of the Ota clan, with structures such as the Dōgon Hall (housing a statue of Dōgon) and the Benten Hall (dedicated to the goddess of arts and war) being constructed.
