Summary

[edit]
Description Higashi Honganji (東本願寺 Higashi Hongan-ji?), or, the Eastern Temple of the Original Vow, is one of two dominant sub-sects of Shin Buddhism in Japan and abroad, the other being Nishi Honganji (or, 'The Western Temple of the Original Vow'). It is also the name of the head temple in Kyoto, a collection of buildings built in 1895 after a fire burned down the previous temple.[1] As with many sites in Kyoto, these two complexes have more casual names and are known affectionately in Kyoto as Onissan (お西さん?, Honorable Mr. West) and Ohigashisan (お東さん?, Honorable Mr. East).
