Zokutou-an

鎌倉市

A sub-temple (tato) located within the precincts of Engaku-ji, with the mountain name Manfu-zan. It enshrines a statue of Kannon (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) as its principal image.

History

It was founded in 1362 CE (Jōji 1) by Ashikaga Takauji for the 30th abbot of Engaku-ji, the Zen master Butman. Butman's younger brother, Imagawa Norikuni, became the re-founding patron, and the temple was rebuilt in 1524 CE (Ōei 4). It also served as a prayer site for the Koga Uesugi clan during a certain period, at which time it housed many residential quarters.
