Kan'ei-ji

Kan'ei-ji

nihongo|Kan'ei-ji|東叡山寛永寺|Tōeizan Kan'ei-ji is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Tokyo, Japan. It was founded in 1625 by Tenkai.

Many temple structures were razed in the great Mereiki fire of 1657. [http://www.columbia.edu/itc/ealac/V3613/edo/html/kaneiji.html Kaneiji] . Columbia University. Accessed June 13, 2008.] A new hall was constructed inside the enclosure of Kan'ei-ji in 1698. [Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). "Annales des empereurs du japon," p. 415.]

Kan'ei-ji's five-story pagoda and the Tōshōgu Shrine were amongst the gems of the old temple enclosure. Both stand undisturbed by the passage of years since the end of the Tokugawa shogunate.

During the height of the Boshin War, the Battle of Ueno took place at the temple, and resulted in the temple's destruction.

The devastated temple buildings and gardens were not restored. Instead, Ueno Park was created on the former grounds of Kan'ei-ji.
