Ōbaku-san Manpuku-ji (黄檗山萬福寺, Manpuku Temple on Mt. Ōbaku) is a Buddhist temple located in Uji, Kyoto, approximately a 5-minute walk from Ōbaku Station.[1] It is the head temple of the Japanese Ōbaku Zen sect, named after Wanfu Temple in Fujian, China. The mountain is likewise named after Mount Huangbo, where the Chinese temple is situated.[2]
History
The temple was founded in 1661 by the Chinese monk Yinyuan Longqi (Ingen), officially opening in 1963.[3]
In 1664, control of the temple passed to Muyan, after which many Chinese monks followed as head priests.[4] Only the fourteenth priest and his successors are Japanese.[5]
On May 21, 1673 (Enpō 1, 5th day of the 4th month) Yinyuan (Ingen) died at the temple.[6]
The art of Senchadō is closely tied to the temple due to its founder.[7]
Architecture
The temple structures were constructed in Ming China's architectural style.[8]
The arrangement of buildings also follows Ming Dynasty architectural style, representing an image of a dragon.
The temple features an exemplary gyoban (fish board, used to toll the hours).[9]
Art
The temple's main statue is a seated Gautama Buddha. Sculptures by the Chinese sculptor known as Han Do-sei[10] and latticed balustrades can also be seen.
Above the gate of the temple is a carving of the Chinese Characters "義一第", (read right-to-left, "The First Principle") carved from the writing of Imakita Kosen and said to have been the artist's eighty-fifth attempt before he finally wrote with a mind free from the distraction of a pupil's criticism.[11]
The temple treasure house contains a complete collection of Buddhist scriptures commissioned by Tetsugen Doko and completed in 1678, comprising approximately 60,000 printing blocks which are still in use.[12][13] The production of the printing blocks was funded by donations collected throughout the country for many years and through many troubles.[13]
