Hōrin-ji (Harima)

Hōrin-ji (法輪寺) is a Rinzai Buddhist temple in Himeji, Hyōgo Prefecture (formerly Harima province).

With the patronage of the Akamatsu clan, Sesson Yūbai was able to become the founder of a number of provincial Buddhist temple-monasteries, including Hōrin-ji in Harima.

[1] Hōrin-ji was ranked among the provincial jissatsu by the Muromachi shogunate,[1] which encouraged its shugo vassals to found monasteries in their domains.
