JIgen-ji, Buddhist temple in Minato-ku, Japan
The temple stands near Mount Iimori, featuring an 11-faced statue of Kanzeon Bosatsu and multiple prayer halls for religious ceremonies.
Founded in 1593 by Ryojyun Shionuma Daiajari, the temple survived through periods of conflict and maintained its position as a center of Buddhist practices.
The monthly Prayer Stick Burning Ritual at Jigen-ji involves participants writing prayers on gomagi before the ceremonial burning in the Gomado hall.
Visitors can reach the temple through public transportation from JR Sendai Station, with parking available for 100 vehicles at no additional cost.
The temple houses a significant painting of Shakyamuni Buddha in nirvana state, known as Shaka Nehan Zu, alongside a stone monument with Matsuo Basho poetry.
