A nun-monzeki temple known as the temple of camellia [Reikan-ji].
Founded in the third year of the Jōō era (1654) as a temple of the Rinzai School’s Nanzen-ji branch, it was established by Princess Tari-no-miya, a daughter of Emperor Go-Mizunoo, and is a nunnery where imperial princesses have served as head priests through the generations. Although normally closed to the public, the temple holds special open houses twice a year, in spring and fall. In spring, azaleas and camellias adorn the grounds, while in fall, Japanese maple and Japanese red maple trees add color to the grounds. The study hall houses a set of folding screens titled “Four Seasons: Flowers and Birds,” attributed to the Kano school, while the main hall enshrines a statue of Nyoirin Kannon. The temple also holds a collection of treasures associated with the Imperial Family, such as Imperial Court dolls and illustrated karuta cards. (*Entry to the main hall is prohibited.)
