Dōju-in, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama-ku, Japan
Dōju-in temple features traditional wooden architecture with a main hall and gardens designed for meditation within the grounds of Tofuku-ji Temple complex.
The temple stands on the site of the former Godai-do hall, constructed in 1006 by Fujiwara-no-Michinaga to commemorate his 40th birthday.
The temple houses a 265-centimeter-tall seated statue of Fudo Myo'o, classified as an Important Cultural Property and created by sculptor Kosho.
The temple offers yasagofuda household protection amulets to visitors at the beginning of each year through its dedicated reception area.
The Fudo Myo'o statue bears multiple names derived from a ligature character that appeared in Michinaga's dream, including Doriki, Juman, and Jippo.
