Settsu Kokubunji (Head Temple of the Kokubunji School of Shingon Buddhism)
大阪市北区国分寺１丁目６−１８
This is the head temple of the Kokubunji School of Shingon Buddhism. The principal image (honzon) is a seated statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha). It is also known as Settsu Kokubunji or Nagara Kokubunji.
History
Its origins lie in Nagara-ji, which was built by the monk Dojo to pray for the repose of Emperor Koto's soul during the reign of Empress Saimei. In 741 CE (Tenpyo 13), it became the Kokubunji (national temple) of Settsu Province following Emperor Shomu's decree to establish national temples. The temple was completely destroyed by fire during the Summer Campaign of Osaka in 1595 (Keicho 20) and was later restored in 1718 (Kyoho 3) by the priest Kai'en.
