Daisenji Temple

Japanese: 大山寺 - だいせんじ

A Tendai sect temple in Daisen Town, Tottori Prefecture. It is also written as Daisen-ji. Founded by Konren in the Nara period, Ennin enshrined a 18-foot-tall Jizo Bodhisattva and built the temple. Since the Middle Ages, it has flourished as a major training center for Shugendo. With the separation of Shinto and Buddhism during the Meiji Restoration, the main hall became the inner shrine of Ogamiyama Shrine, the Dainichi Hall was renamed Jizo Hall, and the temple name was abolished, but was later restored. The Amida Hall in Saimyoindani was built in the Kamakura period and houses three Hakuho Buddhas and a late Fujiwara period Amida Triad.

鳥取県大山町にある天台宗の寺。大仙寺とも書く。奈良時代に金蓮(こんれん)が開創。円仁が丈六の地蔵菩薩をまつり，堂宇を建立した。中世以後，修験道の大道場として栄えた。明治維新の神仏分離により，本堂は大神山(おおがみやま)神社の奥宮となり，大日堂は地蔵堂と改められ，寺名を廃したが，のち復した。西明院谷の阿弥陀堂は鎌倉時代の建築で，白鳳(はくほう)仏３体と藤原末期の阿弥陀三尊像を蔵する。
