|
| Kofuku-ji is a Buddhist temple in the city of Nara, in Nara prefecture, Japan. This temple is the head temple of the Hosso sect, and the ujidera or the ‘clan’s temple’ of the Fujiwara clan. This temple was established by Kagaminookimi, the first wife of Emperor Tenji praying for her husbands’s recovery from illness in Yamashina, Yamashiro Province (present-day Kyoto) in 669. In 672, the temple was moved to Fujiwara-kyo, the first artificially planned capital in Japan. In 710, the temple was moved again to newly constructed capital, Heijo-kyo, today’s Nara. |
