▼About Kinkayasan Shokoji Temple
This site was originally the workshop of the Buddhist sculptor Kokei, who was active from the late Heian period to the early Kamakura period.
One day, the monk Shoko visited Kokei to commission a Buddhist statue and lived in a separate building on the premises until the statue was completed.
Later, when it was time to part ways, Kōkei, reluctant to say goodbye, requested a portrait of Shōkō, which was enshrined in the detached cottage. This marked the beginning of the temple, which came to be known as Shōkō-an.
Although the temple was destroyed by fire several times thereafter, the current main hall was rebuilt in 1832 (Tenpō 3).
The temple cemetery is home to the graves of Yoshio Oishi’s biological mother (famous from the Chūshingura story), Zen’emon Yoshitoki Yasuda (known as the merchant Rihei of Anno-ya), and the actor Kanjiro Arashi (famous for his role as the Kurama Tengu).
