*''Japanese'': 慈受院 ''(Jiju-in)''
Jiju-in was a prominent nunnery established in [[1428]] by [[Hino Eiko]], in following with the last wishes of her late husband, [[Shogun]] [[Ashikaga Yoshimochi]], who died the previous year.
Following its establishment, numerous members of the [[Imperial family]], members of the ''[[kuge]]'' such as the [[Konoe family|Konoe]] and [[Hanayama family|Hanayama families]], and of the [[Ashikaga clan|Ashikaga family]], took the tonsure and resided here.
The temple has been moved from its original location, which is believed to have been, previously, the site of [[Fujiwara no Michinaga]]'s [[Hojo-ji|Hôjô-ji]], also known as the Usugumo Palace, a site also closely associated with the [[Tale of Genji]].
