Shofuku-ji

Established: 1195, Eisai

The Shôfuku-ji in Hakata was the first Zen temple to be established in Japan. It was established by Eisai in 1195.

The monk-painter Sengai oversaw the rebuilding of the temple at one point in the late 18th or early 19th century, following a fire or other disaster.^[1]
