Shoninji Temple
奈良市東木辻町４２
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Nara City. It was formerly situated within the Kizugawa Yoshiwara (red-light district) and served as a guiding temple for the deceased.
History
The temple's founding is attributed to the year 1167 CE (Nin'an 2), when Shujobou Juken returned from Song China and rebuilt the site. Later, Ton'yo enshrined Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) and established it as a temple dedicated to Pure Land faith. Because it was located within the Kizugawa Yoshiwara, it handled the guiding of souls and the dedication of merit for the rebirth in the Pure Land for deceased prostitutes.
