Koodaiji、Kōdaiji 高台寺 Kodai-Ji



formally identified as Jubuzan Kōdai-ji (鷲峰山高台寺),
is a temple of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism in Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, the largest subtemple of the Kennin-ji branch.
It was established in 1606 by Nene (often known by the title Kita no Mandokoro, and who had taken the name Kōdai-in), the widow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to pray for her late husband.
The principal image is a statue of Shaka.



The temple possesses a number of objects designated as Important Cultural Assets. Among these are the Main Gate and the Spirit Hall, noted for its use of maki-e. The temple is nicknamed the maki-e temple." It also holds paintings, including one of Hideyoshi, as well as textiles, and a bronze bell with an inscription dating it to 1606.

The gardens of Kōdai-ji are a nationally-designated Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty.
