History
**Nishi Honganji Temple (Nishi Honganji, Kyoto)**
**Official Name**: Ryukokuzan Honganji
**Sect**: Jodo Shinshu Honganji-style Sohonzan
**Location**: Hanayacho Shiteru, Horikawa-dori, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto
---
## **[Basic Information]**
Nishi Honganji is the head temple (highest temple) of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school of Japanese Buddhism. Along with Higashi Honganji (of the Shinshu Otani school), it is considered one of Japan's most important Buddhist temples. Its architectural complex is a World Heritage Site, renowned for its magnificent Momoyama period architecture and rich cultural heritage.

## **[Historical Background]**
1. **Foundation** (13th century)
- The Jodo Shinshu sect was founded by Shinran Shonin (1173–1263), but Honganji, as the center of the sect, was developed after his death by his disciples and descendants.
- In 1272, Shinran's granddaughter, Kakushinni, established a temple in Higashiyama Otani, Kyoto, to enshrine Shinran's remains. This became the predecessor of Honganji.
2. **Development** (15th–16th centuries)
- The eighth head priest, Rennyo (1415–1499), revived the sect, making Honganji a powerful religious institution.
- In the 16th century, during the reign of the 11th head priest, Kennyo (1543–1592), Honganji became a powerful religious force capable of rivaling the daimyo of the Warring States period, and engaged in a protracted struggle against Oda Nobunaga (the Ishiyama Campaign, 1570–1580).
3. **Kyoto Relocation** (1591)
- Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the relocation of Honganji to its present location in Kyoto. Later, due to succession disputes, the temple split into the following:
- **Nishi Honganji** (Honganji sect) → Successor Junnyo (Kennyo's third son), supported by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
- **Higashi Honganji** (Otani sect) → Founded in 1602 by Kyonnyo (Kennyo's eldest son).
4. **Prosperity of the Edo Period**
- Nishi Honganji was rebuilt in the early Edo period, resulting in its current main buildings, such as the Miei-do Hall and the Amida-do Hall.
5. Modern and Contemporary History
- In 1994, it was designated a World Cultural Heritage Site (Cultural Properties of Ancient Kyoto).
- It remains a core temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect and is open to the public.
