Virtual Honjo Domain 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #28 Senryu-ji Temple

 

     Senryu-ji Temple is said to have been founded in the Northern and Southern Courts Period (1336-1392).  In the 14th century, the marine transport through the Sea of Japan grew, and Japanese Buddhism spread along the coast.  Senryu-ji Temple was founded as a branch of Daijo-ji Temple, which was founded in 1263.  At first, Daijo-ji Temple belonged to the Shingon Sect but turned to Caodong Chan Buddhism in 1283, in 1289, or in 1291.

     When the Purple Robe Incident broke out in 1627, Priest Tanden of Myoshin-ji Temple was exiled to Senryu-ji Temple in 1629.
