Bishamon-do-Monzeki
Monzeki-Jiin ( The temple where Japanese Buddhist priests of imperial lineage lived)of Tendai sect.
Bishamon-do is one of the five temples in Kyoto where Tendai sect priests of imperial lineage lived.
It is a historic temple which shows its high status and rustic charm of the temple on hillside.
It worships Bishamon-ten(one of Seven Deities of Good luck)as its principal image. Bishamon-do is named after this deity.

Bishamon-do was built by the order of Emperor Mommu in 703. At the beginning it was placed on Izumo Road,to the north of Kyoto Gsho,and initially called Izumo-ji Temple on Mt.Goho After repeated wars,it was rebuilt in Yamashina – anshu in 1665.After prince of Koben,the son of Emperor Gosai,it became Monzeki-Jiin. The prayer called Chinjyo-Yasha-ho,which has brought from China’s Tang Dynasty by Dengyo Daishi Saicho,is a mystic one introduced only to this temple as one of the five Tendai special prayers.

The principal image of Bishamon-ten was curved by Dangyo Daishi Saicho himself,the founder of Tendai Sect,who founded Enryaku-ji Temple on Mt.Hiei.It is said that the statue was made of the surplus wood after making the statue of Yakushi Nyorai in Enryakuji Temple Konpon Chudou Hall.
Worshippers are said to be blessed with prosperous trade and safty of their family.During the 3 days for Hatsutora-mairi in Januay,lots of worshippers visit the temple and fortune bamboo grasses called Fuku-zasa are given to them.

The halls in the temple are valuable remains which show the peculiar scenery of Monzeki-Jiin in the modern age in Japan.many of them are designated as tangible cultural properties of Kyoto. The temple is located on the hillside pverloking Yamashina Basin, and its cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves in fall are loved by local people in Kyoto.
