Chishiki-ji, Former Buddhist temple site in Kashiwara, Japan.
Located at coordinates 34.583306, 135.632333, Chishiki-ji stands as a historical religious complex with typical wooden architectural elements of Japanese Buddhist temples.
The temple gained recognition when Emperor Shomu visited in 740, leading to its influence on the construction of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji Temple.
The name Chishiki-ji translates to Temple of Knowledge, reflecting the Buddhist principles of enlightenment and spiritual understanding in Japanese religious traditions.
The temple remains are accessible through Kashiwara's transportation network, though facilities for visitors are limited at this historical location.
The temple was established through contributions from the Chishiki group, whose funding methods later influenced the development of larger religious structures in Japan.
