Seiryō-ji Temple, Buddhist temple in Sagano, Japan

Seiryō-ji is a Jōdo sect temple in Ukyō Ward, Kyoto, also called Saga Shakadō. Its main hall, rebuilt in 1703, enshrines a 985 Northern Song statue of Shakyamuni, 160 cm tall and carved from Chinese cherry wood. The hall's plaque reads "Sandalwood Auspicious Image" in the calligraphy of Ingen.

The site stands where the residence of Minamoto no Toru once was, a figure from the ninth century. His life later served as a model for the protagonist in the novel The Tale of Genji.

The temple is also called Saga Shakadō, after the hall housing the Shaka statue. Since 1279, when the monk Engaku practiced Yuzu Nenbutsu here, it has been a center of that tradition. Saga Dainenbutsu was first performed in 1443, and Saga Dainenbutsu Kyōgen, said to have been founded by Engaku, is performed at the Kyōgen-dō near the west gate.

The temple stands in Sagashakado Fujinoki-chō, Ukyō Ward; from the Togetsukyō bridge in Arashiyama, go straight north and the two-storey Niō Gate, called the face of Sagano, faces you. The main hall lies beyond it, with the Amida Hall, bell tower and Reihokan housing the Amida triad around the grounds. The hall's plaque reading "Sendarui-zō" is in the hand of the Obaku monk Ingen.

The temple's principal image is not a hidden Buddha but a 985 carving by the Chinese sculptors Zhang Yanjiao and Zhang Yanxiu, kept in the open main hall. When its back panel loosened in 1953, Song coins spilled out, leading to the 1954 discovery of 11 silk organ models inside the statue.
