Mibudera 壬生寺 Mibu-Dera, Kyoto
![]()
京都市中京区壬生梛ノ宮町31 / 31 Mibu-naginomiya-cho, Nakagyō ward, Kyoto
The main statue is 延命地蔵菩薩 Enmei Jizo Bosatsu.
The Yakushi Statue is known as 歯痛止薬師 Ha-itamidome Yakushi,
Yakushi to heal toothache.
The temple has taken on several other names such as
Jizō-in (地蔵院)", Hōdō Sanmai-in (宝幢三昧寺)", and Shinjōkō-in (心浄光院).
The current abbot is Shunkai Matsuura.
Temple records state that Mibu-dera was originally established for the Chinese monk Jianzhen (688-763),
known as Ganjin in Japan.
- quote
The temple was founded in 991 by the 円覚上人Priest Kaiken of Onjō-ji as a gift to his mother.
In 1005 a memorial service was held in which the temple was given the name
"Komii-dera (小三井寺, lit. "little Mii-dera")" in reference to the founder's original temple.
It is said that the title "Jizō-in" was bestowed on the temple during Emperor Shirakawa's imperial visit.
The priest Engaku of the Yuzu Nembutsu school restored the temple in the medieval period.
Tradition holds that he was responsible for establishing the practice of the Mibu Dai Nembutsu Kyōgen,
now an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.
Towards the end of the Edo period, the Tokugawa Bakufu established the Mibu Rōshigumi
at the nearby stronghold, the Yagi House (八木家 Yagike).
The Mibu Rōshigumi were an elite public security corp that would later be known as the Shinsengumi.
Mibu-dera's grounds served as the base for the organization's military and martial arts training.
A bronze statue of commander Kondō Isami stands within the temple precincts,
as well as a grave-site for Shinsengumi regimental soldiers.
The resting place of Kondō Isami is believed to be elsewhere.
Mibu-dera's main image was originally a half-lotus seated Kṣitigarbha statue,
fashioned in the latter part of the Kamakura period, affectionately dubbed "Mibu Jizō" among the local faithful.
The image was destroyed by arson along with the main hall on July 25, 1962.
After the fire, a standing Kṣitigarbha statue was relocated from the head temple Tōshōdai-ji
and became the temple's new main image.
The main hall was rebuilt in 1967.
