Chōkei-ji, Buddhist temple in Toyama, Japan
The Chōkei-ji temple complex features multiple halls with Momoyama and early Edo architectural elements, including detailed entrance gates and meditation spaces.
Maeda Toshinaga, the second daimyo of Kaga Domain, established the temple in 1613 as Hōen-ji before it received its current name after his death.
The temple complex follows traditional Zen layout principles, incorporating designs inspired by Jingshanshou Temple from Hangzhou, China.
The temple grounds contain preserved National Treasures including the High gate, Buddha-Hall, and Dharma-Hall, which received this designation in 1997.
The temple holds artworks by notable Japanese artists, including paintings of Daruma and Kannon created by masters Sesshū and Kanō Tan'yū.
