Jissō-ji, Buddhist temple in Fuji, Japan
The temple complex contains multiple buildings including the Hall of Buddhist Scriptures, Hall of the Founder, Temple Gate, bell tower, and living quarters.
Founded in 1145 by retired emperor Toba Hohoh, Jissō-ji initially comprised 49 temples and grew into a center for Buddhist scholarship.
The temple preserves one of two complete collections of Buddhist scriptures brought from the Tang Dynasty by Enchin to Japan.
The temple grounds welcome visitors for general sightseeing, while specific religious structures maintain access restrictions based on membership requirements.
Nichiren spent two years at this temple studying Buddhist texts, which led to his creation of the Rissho Ankoku Ron document.
