Toji

Toji is a Buddhist temple of the Shingon sect in Kyoto. Its name means East Temple, and it once had a partner, Saiji (West Temple). They stood alongside the Rashomon, the gate to the Heian capital. It is formally known as Kyo-o-gokokuji which indicates that it previously functioned as a temple providing protection for the nation.

Although often associated with the famous priest Kobo Daishi (Kukai), Toji was established in 796 A.D., two years after the capital moved to Heiankyo. Kukai was put in charge of Toji in 823 A.D. by order of Emperor Saga. Its principal image is of Yakushi Nyorai, the Medicine Buddha.
