*''Established: [[654]], [[Soga clan]]''
*''Japanese'': 般若寺 ''(Hannya-ji)''
Hannya-ji is a [[Shingon]]-[[Ritsu]] Buddhist temple in [[Nara]], famous for its stone pagoda.
The temple was established by the [[Soga clan]] in [[654]].
In the 13th century, the Ritsu monk [[Eison]] ([[1201]]-[[1290]]) organized the construction of a stone pagoda at the site, hiring stonemasons from [[Song Dynasty]] China and arranging for them to come to Japan to undertake this project. The pagoda is today a [[National Treasure]].
