Kuwana Betsuin Honto-ji Temple

Matsuo Basho's winter peony

Original Text

The priest is a disciple of haiku and the Basho song party was held. It is now in a residential area, but it seems to be a lush place with a squeaking sound during the Edo period.

I wonder if the dignity of the precincts is true.

Original Text

It is a temple of the Otani school of the Jodo Shinshu sect, commonly known as "Kuwana Gobo". There is a mountain gate in the shopping street, and it feels familiar. However, when you enter the precincts, the dignified attitude is truly. It is a temple that was established as a hyogisho of the Ikko sect of Owari, Mino, and Ise to support Honganji Temple when Oda Nobunaga attacked Osaka Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

I have a life course.

Original Text

Every month １ There is a life course on Sunday where you can hear the law story. The chief priest in charge of the law story changes every month, so I'm looking forward to hearing what kind of story you can hear.

A high-class gobo representing Kuwana

Original Text

A prestigious gobo representing Kuwana. You can see the prestigious height by looking at the 5 main lines on the side of the mountain gate. Unfortunately, the main hall was burnt down due to the war damage and the current one is reconstructed after the war. The highlights are Basho's monument, an old Shinran saint statue, and the tomb of the Yamada family, a wealthy merchant in Kuwana.

Support Ishiyama Hongan Ji Temple by collectively supporting the Ikko sect

Original Text

I entered from the Teramachi shopping street, but when I thought it was an ordinary small temple, it was a ridiculously large temple. The Shinshu Otani school temple called Gobo-san is quite large everywhere, but it was also large here. Hontoji Temple is also the base of the Ikko sect to support Honganji Temple when Oda Nobunaga attacked Osaka Ishiyama Honganji Temple. It seems that the temple developed greatly in the Edo period.
