*''Japanese'': 誓願寺 ''(seigan ji)''

Seigan-ji is a Buddhist temple in central Kyoto. Located near Rokkaku-Teramachi, the temple is famous for its large Buddha statue and fan-mound. The temple features in a [[Noh]] play by [[Seigan-ji (play)|the same name]].

In [[1634]], perhaps because of its proximity to [[Nijo castle|Nijô castle]], the temple was used as lodgings for a group of [[Kingdom of Ryukyu|Ryukyuan]] princes and their entourage, brought by [[Shimazu Iehisa]] to pay respects to [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]] at that time.<ref>Kido Hironari, "Ryukyu shisetsu no seiritsu," ''Shirin'' 99:4 (2016).</ref>
