Katsuo-ji

Katsuo-ji

Katsuo-ji (勝尾寺) is a Buddhist temple in Mino city, north of Osaka, Japan.

According to an English language brochure given out at the temple, the site was first occupied late in the Nara period by two priests, Zenchu and Zensan. The Mirokuji temple was erected in 765 CE. The name "Katsuo-ji" was given by the Emperor Seiwa. The temple was burned in 1184 CE. The present Main Hall and Temple Gate were rebuilt by Hideyori Toyotomi.

"Winner's Luck" and Daruma

The word "katsu" in the temple's name refers to winning. People buy daruma dolls hoping to obtain "winner's luck". (Source: English language brochure given out at the temple.) If the wish is fulfilled, the daruma is often returned to the temple and left somewhere on the grounds.
