Takizansai Treasure Hall

岡崎市滝町山籠107

4.3(29)

A Tendaishu (Tendai) Buddhist temple located in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Its mountain name is Kikyo Darani-yama (Mountain of Auspicious Dharani), and its court name is Yakujuo-in (Medicine Tree King Court). It is famous for the Takizansai Onimatsuri (Demon Festival).

History

Founded during the Nara period, the temple was established as Kikyo-ji (Temple of Auspiciousness) to enshrine a golden statue of Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) that Enno (En no Gyoja) picked up in the Aoki River by order of Emperor Tenmu. In the 12th century, it was revived by the Tendaishu monk Bu-sen Jōkyū (Bu-sen Jōkyū). It subsequently developed under the patronage of the Fujiwara Minabe clan (who served as the Grand Priests of Atsuta Grand Shrine), the Kamakura Shogunate, the Ashikaga clan, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
