About Shitennō-ji
Shitennō-ji, a Buddhist temple in Ōsaka, Japan, is also known as the Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings. It also carries the names Arahaka-ji, Nanba-ji or Naniwa-daiji, and Mitsu-ji. Some regard it as Japan's first Buddhist temple and its oldest officially administered one, though the complex and its buildings have been rebuilt repeatedly over the centuries, the latest in 1963. Soon after World War II the temple left the Tendai sect to form the Wa sect.
Prince Shōtoku ordered its construction in the 6th century, when Buddhism had not yet spread widely in Japan, as part of a national campaign to promote the faith. He brought in three Korean carpenters from Baekje, whose knowledge guided the work. A person involved in that original build later founded Kongō Gumi, a temple-and-shrine builder that remained the world's oldest company until the Takamatsu Construction Group bought it in 2004.
The garan, the walled complex inside the temple, includes a five-story pagoda and the Kondō, or Golden Pavilion, which holds an image of the Bodhisattva Kannon. A lecture hall and a covered corridor with three gates completed the group. Four institutions were meant to help raise the level of civilization: religion and education, welfare, a hospital and a pharmacy. Records show that three of them still existed within the temple in the Kamakura period.
