Hōun-ji (法雲寺) is a Rinzai Buddhist temple in Hyōgo Prefecture (formerly Harima province).
History
With the patronage of the Akamatsu clan, Sesson Yūbai was able to become the founder of a number of provincial Buddhist temple- monasteries, including Hōun-ji in Harima. [1]
Hōun-ji was ranked among the provincial jissatsu by the Muromachi shogunate, [1] which encouraged its shugo vassals to found monasteries in their domains. [2]
Prominent among Yūbai's followers were Akamatsu Norimura (1277-1350) and his son Akamatsu Norisuke (1314-1371). [1]
