Description
Built in 1594 by Yodo-dono, Hideyoshi's consort, to honor her father Azai Nagamasa.
Later rebuilt by her sister Sugen-in as a Tokugawa family memorial temple.
Inside the main hall are fusuma paintings and cedar door panels by Tawaraya Sotatsu (Important Cultural Properties), as well as the "Blood Ceiling" — floorboards from Fushimi Castle stained with the blood of Torii Mototada, a Tokugawa retainer who committed ritual suicide there. Photography is prohibited on the grounds.
