History
Ankokuji is a Rinzai sect (Myoshinji school) temple located in Ikeda-cho, Ibi District, Gifu Prefecture. It was founded in 1345 (Koan 4) by Shizan Myozai of Kamakura Engakuji as its founding patron. It is one of the Ankokuji temples built across Japan by Ashikaga Takauji to pray for national peace and the repose of the war dead. The temple flourished under the patronage of the Toki clan, governors of Mino Province, and the Inaba clan. It is the 15th sacred site of the Nishi-Mino Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage.
