*''Other Names'': 薩摩寺 ''(Satsuma-dera)'', 長福寺 ''(Choufuku-ji)''
*''Japanese'': 大黒寺 ''(daikoku-ji)''
Daikoku-ji is a [[Shingon]] temple in [[Kyoto]] dedicated to the worship of [[Daikokuten]], and closely associated with [[Satsuma han]].
The temple was originally called Chôfuku-ji, but around [[1615]] its name was changed to Daikoku-ji, in reference to its association with Daikokuten, one of the [[Seven Lucky Gods]]. The Satsuma ''han'' mansion was, at that time, located nearby (though it would be moved closer to the center of the city later in the [[Edo period]]), and the domain adopted this temple, and its chief deity, as protectors of its daimyô. Due to this association, the temple has come to be known popularly as "Satsuma-dera" ("Satsuma temple").
Nine ''[[shishi]]'' (anti-shogunate rebels / pro-Imperial patriots) from Satsuma, killed in the [[Teradaya]] Incident, are buried at Daikoku-ji, along with two members of the [[1832]] [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]]: the mission's ''[[gieisei]]'' (head of street musicians) [[Gima peechin]] (Sai Shû, [[1777]]-1832)<!--儀間親雲上 蔡修--> and ''[[sangikan]]'' (head of ceremonies) [[Takehara peechin]]<!--嵩原親雲上-->, who fell ill and died on the way to [[Edo]].
