Rinzai Sect Myoshinji Sect Yanggakuji Temple

Yogakuji Temple, located in Fukagawa, Koto-ku, Tokyo, is a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect of Myoshinji. Founded in the 14th year of Kanei (1637). Soken Kaizan is Bunmuro Zuo, and Solicitation Kaizan is Jiang Yan Zuo Su from Yanaka Nanquan Temple. Kaiki (the person who gave us a great deal of support in building the temple) was Mukai Sakonoe Shogun Inspector Gen Tadakatsu. He served the Imagawa family, the Takeda family, and the Tokugawa family, three families during the Sengoku period, and supported these daimyo from the sea. Tokugawa Ieyasu drew a guideline in the depths of Edo Bay by a group of pirates to meet the enemy navy. The line runs from Izu and Miura Misaki to Kasai and Edo. History seems to have left the footprints of the Kishu pirates scattered in various places from Kishu to Sagami Bay and Tokyo Bay. Time passed, and it was a new year. Due to the Great Fire of Fukagawa and the Great Kanto Earthquake, the main hall of Yogakuji Temple, the storehouse, the statue of the Buddha of Deyama, the autographs and images of Bunshu Kusuke, the wooden statues, the stone markers, and the monument of Fushimi Yoshimin were all burned down. The honzon enshrined in the current main hall was moved after the Great Kanto Earthquake and was relocated from a temple called Jissoin in Kyoto Hanazono (Myoshinji), and it is written that it is the revival of Kunke. I don't know the name of the Buddhist master, but a survey in Koto Ward revealed that it was an "eleven-sided Kanzeon Bodhisattva Seated Statue made at the end of the Muromachi period". At Yogakuji Temple, we interweave sutras and Japanese while working according to the ancient style.
