Myōshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Edogawa, Japan
Myōshō-ji temple displays traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with mossy stairs and two caves housing religious statues on its grounds.
Established in 1307, the temple evolved from an earlier structure named Honkuku-ji and received dedication from Nichiei of the Ashikaga family in 1357.
The temple holds annual Yakuyoke Shōga ceremonies each August to commemorate the Matsubagayatsu Persecution, preserving Buddhist traditions.
The main hall contains relics of Nichiren and an effigy honoring Prince Morinaga, though certain temple structures remain closed to public access.
The temple houses artifacts demonstrating the integration of Indian Buddhist practices with Japanese religious traditions through centuries of development.
