History
Reigan-ji is a Jodo sect temple located in Shirakawa, Koto Ward, Tokyo. Known by its mountain name Domotozan and temple name Tokaiin, its principal image is Amida Nyorai. Founded in 1624 (Genna 1) by the monk Reigan Shonin in Kojimachi, Edo, the temple was devastated by the Great Meireki Fire of 1657 and relocated to its present site in Fukagawa by order of the shogunate. It is counted among the Six Great Firebreak Temples of Edo. The temple grounds feature one of the Six Jizo Statues of Edo, a massive Jizo Bosatsu that drew deep veneration from Edo citizens. The tomb of senior Edo-era official Matsudaira Sadanobu is designated a National Historic Site.
