Senshuji Temple - So-mon (National Designated Important Cultural Property)

真岡市高田

4.5(4)

This is the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Kōda-ha school and is considered the only temple established by Shinran. It is a historic temple complex that includes several Important Cultural Properties, such as the Nyorai-do (Hall of the Buddha), the Goei-do (Hall of the Portrait), the Rō-mon (Tower Gate), and the So-mon (General Gate).

History

It is said to have been established in 1225 CE (Karakitsu 1) by Shinran, the founder of Jodo Shinshu, at the earnest request of the lord of Moka Castle. Subsequently, it received an imperial edict designating it as a temple under imperial patronage from Emperor Go-Horikawa. It played a significant role in the early monastic activities of Jodo Shinshu in the eastern provinces. The temple buildings were rebuilt during the Edo period, and the site remains to this day.
