Kongo Sammai-in Temple
A Shingon Buddhist temple in Koya-cho, Wakayama Prefecture. It was built as a sub-temple in 1221 by Kamakura Zenni (Hojo Masako) on Mount Koya to pray for the soul of Minamoto no Sanetomo. The pagoda was built in 1223, and its pillars, walls, and nageshi (railings) are painted with Buddhist paintings. It is a valuable relic from the early Kamakura period and a national treasure.
