Eihō-ji (永保寺) is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple located in northern area of the city of Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture, Japan.[1] Founded in the Kamakura period, two of the structures of the temple are designated National Treasures of Japan and its gardens are a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty.
History
Eihō-ji was established in 1313 by the Nanzen-ji branch of Rinzai Zen Buddhism.[2] On September 10, 2003, one of the main living quarters was destroyed by a fire. After a fundraising campaign run by the residents of Tajimi, the restoration was completed on August 29, 2007.
The temple grounds are home to a number of zazen trainees, and the temple holds regular zazen sessions open to the general public. In addition to two buildings listed as National Treasures of Japan, the grounds include a pond, bridge and waterfall, and a traditional Zen garden.
