:''Not to be confused with Shōgen-ji (Gifu).'' is a temple of the Myoshin-ji branch of Japanese Rinzai School of Zen Buddhism in Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka, Japan. ==History== According to the oral tradition, Shōgen-ji was initially built as a Tendai temple during Saicho's visit to Eastern Japan in 817. At that time, the temple's name was most likely written differently, i.e. as . Later, in the Kamakura period the temple was transferred to the Rinzai School and renamed to its present characters borrowing the characters of the Jōgen (also read as ''Shōgen'') imperial era (承元, 1207–11). Historically verifiable records indicate that during the Muromachi period the temple was selected as one of regional "peace-protection temples" by the Muromachi bakufu. It was burned to the ground during Takeda Shingen's invasion of Suruga. In the Edo period a Shinto shrine named "Divine Protection Mountain" was added to the rebuilt temple's premises, hence the full title of the temple at present is Shingosan Shōgen Ankoku Zen-ji .〔Shōgenji (2010). ''Shingosan Shōgenji Fortunes.'' (Japanese: ''Shingosan Shōgen-ji Engi'' 神護山承元寺縁起 Temple information brochure, published locally.)〕 The present abbot of the temple is poet, translator and Zen master, Sōiku Shigematsu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shōgen-ji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
