Hokekyō-ji (法華経寺) is a temple of the Nichiren-shū [1] founded during the Kamakura period in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. One of Nichiren's most important writings the Risshō Ankoku Ron, [2] regarded as one of the National Treasures of Japan, is kept at the temple. Next to other documents it is being presented to the public on 3 November each year.
Buildings
- Shisoku-mon ( Sengoku period) ( Important Cultural Property) [3]
- Hokkedō ( Sengoku period) (ICP) [4]
- Five-storey pagoda (1622) (ICP) [5]
- Soshidō (1678) (ICP) [6]
Restoration of the Soshidō
When the Soshidō (祖師堂) was dismantled for repairs in 1987, evidence from the fabric and forty-five wooden tablets that were found suggested that the original form had been altered in the rebuilding of 1741. It was understood that originally the building resembled the Honden- Haiden of Kibitsu Jinja and, after an inscription was founded by the master carpenter of 1678 who came from that area, the hall was remodelled on that basis. A wooden shingle roof was installed and the old copper sold off for use by sculptors. [7]
