大善寺, Buddhist temple in Fushimi district, Kyoto, Japan
Daizenji Temple features a wooden statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, designated as an Important Cultural Property, in its Jizo Hall near Momoyama district.
Founded in 705 by Jōe, son of Fujiwara no Kamatari, the temple underwent changes when five of its six Jizo statues were relocated to major road entrances around 1156.
The temple holds the annual Jizo Festival on August 22-23, drawing local residents who participate in traditional ceremonies and offerings to honor the Bodhisattva.
Located at Momoyama-cho Nishi-machi 24, the temple sits within walking distance from three railway stations: Keihan Uji Line, Subway Tozai Line, and JR Nara Line.
The temple preserves one of the six original Jizo statues carved from a single cherry tree by Ono no Takamura after his reported near-death experience in the 9th century.
