A treasure trove of cultural properties such as the Important Cultural Property-designated sanmon gate, and in the late Edo period, a place where domain samurai stirred up fiery spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u014dshunji Temple is the family temple of M\u014dri Motonari, and its cemetery includes a spirit monument dedicated to Inoue Kaoru. In recent years, Maru II, the temple\u2019s canine head priest, has become a beloved local figure. The temple grounds also feature the Nomura Art Museum, which exhibits items related to Meiji Restoration patriots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site originally housed Kokuseiji Temple, founded in 1404 (\u014cei 11) by \u014cuchi Moriharu, the 26th head of the \u014cuchi clan, to honor his spirit. The sanmon gate, now designated an Important Cultural Property by the national government, still retains its original appearance.\nOriginally, T\u014dshunji Temple, along with J\u014dei-ji Temple, stood in Yoshida K\u014driyama Castle town (present-day Akitakata City, Hiroshima Prefecture), the M\u014dri clan\u2019s home base.\nAfter the Battle of Sekigahara, the M\u014dri clan was relocated to the two provinces of B\u014dch\u014d (modern-day Yamaguchi Prefecture). As a result, J\u014dei-ji Temple was moved to its current location and merged with Kokuseiji Temple, while T\u014dshunji Temple was relocated to Hagi.\nThe temple remained known as J\u014dei-ji until the end of the Edo period. When the domain headquarters were transferred to Yamaguchi, the temple was requisitioned by the domain as a storage site for weapons and supplies.\nFollowing the First Ch\u014dsh\u016b Expedition, retainers who opposed the domain\u2019s decision to submit to the shogunate gathered at the temple to demand a retraction. Their demands were rejected, and in their grief and fury, they drew their swords and struck the temple pillars\u2014many of these scars remain visible today.\nDuring the Second Ch\u014dsh\u016b Expedition (Shimonoseki War), the K\u014dj\u014d Army, one of the militia units of the Ch\u014dsh\u016b Domain led by Inoue Kaoru, was temporarily stationed at the temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1863 (Bunky\u016b 3), J\u014dei-ji Temple was relocated to its current location in Miyano. Later, after the Meiji Restoration, in 1871 (Meiji 4), T\u014dshunji Temple was moved from Hagi to its present location in Yamaguchi, where it remains to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
