Jizō-in (Tsubaki-dera) Temple — Attraction in Kyoto

神亀3年（726年）、行基が聖武天皇の勅願によって摂津国の昆陽池（こやいけ）のほとりに建立したのが始まりと伝わる。 平安時代に衣笠山の南に移されたが、室町時代の明徳2年（1391年）に勃発した明徳の乱で焼失した。しかし、足利義満が金閣寺建立の余材をもって再建し、地蔵菩薩を奉安した。 天正17年（1589年）、豊臣秀吉の命によって現在地に移された。 当寺はそもそも八宗兼学の寺院であったが、寛文11年（1671年）に善曳和尚によって浄土宗寺院となり、知恩院の末寺となった。この際に本尊が善導大師作で重源上人が招来したとされる五却思惟阿弥陀如来となっている。 鍬形地蔵や木納屋の地蔵と呼ばれていた元の本尊である地蔵菩薩は地蔵堂に移されている。 五色八重散椿は、1本の木に濃淡様々な色合いの花が見られ、散り際も花びらが1枚ずつ散り美しいと、秀吉も愛したという名木である。かつて書院の前庭には、有名な「散り椿」があり、これが椿寺という異名の由来になっている。 文禄の役の際に加藤清正が朝鮮の蔚山城（うるざんじょう）から持ち帰り、さらに北野大茶湯のときに豊臣秀吉から当寺に献木されたものである。 小野蘭山著「本草網目啓蒙」（享和3年＝1803年）に、京都紙屋川地蔵院のチリツバキとして記載された名木。正岡子規が「椿寺の椿の花は散りてこそ」とよんでいる。また、速水御舟がこの椿をテーマに屏風絵「名樹散椿」を描いている。 初代は惜しくも枯死し、現在は樹齢約120年の2世椿が花を咲かせており、京都市の天然記念物に指定されている。 It is said that Gyoki was erected on the banks of Koyaike in Settsu Province in the 3rd year of Jinki (726) at the request of Emperor Shomu. It was moved to the south of Mt. Kinugasa during the Heian period, but was burned down by the Meitoku turbulence that broke out in 1391 during the Muromachi period. However, Yoshimitsu Ashikaga rebuilt it with the surplus material from the construction of Kinkakuji Temple and enshrined the Jizo Bodhisattva. In the 17th year of Tensho (1589), it was moved to the present location by the order of Hideyoshi Toyotomi. This temple was originally a temple of eight sects and studies, but in 1671, it became a Jodo sect temple by Kazuhisa Zenbiki, and became the last temple of Chion-in. At this time, the principal idol is Gokoshiyui Amida Nyorai, who is said to have been invited by Chogen Shonin in the work of Shandao Daishi. The original principal image of Jizo Bodhisattva, which was called the stag beetle Jizo or the Jizo of the Kinaya, has been moved to the Jizo-do. The five-colored Yae-san camellia is a famous tree that Hideyoshi loved because one tree has flowers of various shades and the petals are scattered one by one at the time of scattering. In the front yard of the Shoin, there used to be the famous "Tsubaki", which is the origin of the nickname "Tsubakiji". Kiyomasa Kato took it home from Ulsanjo in Korea when he played the role of Bunroku, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi donated it to the temple during the Kitano Tea Ceremony. A famous tree described as a chili tsubaki of Kyoto Kamiyagawa Jizo-in in "Honso Ame Enlightenment" by Ranzan Ono (Kyowa 3 = 1803). Shiki Masaoka says, "The camellia flowers at Tsubaki-ji must be scattered." In addition, Gyoshu Hayami draws a folding screen picture "Meiki Santsubaki" with the theme of this camellia. The first generation died unfortunately, and now the second-generation camellia, which is about 120 years old, is in bloom and is designated as a natural monument...
