The Daijō-ji ( jap. 大乗寺) is a Buddhist temple of the Soto Shuu in the Japanese city of Kanazawa ( Ishikawa Prefecture ).

Originally, the temple belonged to the Shingon Shuu and was near the village Nonoichi (野々市) in the province of Kaga , built around 1261 by the local feudal lords Togashi Iehisa (富樫家尚). [1] [2]

As a result of the so-called dispute over the succession in the third generation within the Soto shū left Tettsū Gikai (徹通義介, 1219-1309) the Eihei-ji and moved with the help of former Daruma shū -Anhängers Chōkai and support from a fellow branch of the Fujiwara family the Daijō-ji (around 1292). Because Gikais good relations with the Shingon shū he soon received permission to convert the temple into a Zen monastery, what happened in the year 1293. [3] In the following decades, the temple became the center of the medieval Soto movement in Japan . [4]
