Jōshō-ji

Sakyō-ku, Japan · built 1139

Jōshō-ji (Jōshō-ji) was a former Buddhist monastery in northeastern Kyoto, Japan, endowed by Emperor Sutoku in fulfillment of a sacred vow. It is known as one of the "Six Victorious Temples" (Rokushō-ji), which encompass monastery complexes which enjoyed extravagant Imperial patronage from their inception. They are sometimes identified as the "Superlative Temples" or the "Shō Temples" because of the middle syllable of the temple name.
