Sennyû-ji is a [[Buddhist temple]] outside [[Kyoto]], established c. [[824]]-[[833]]. [[Emperor Shijo|Emperor Shijô]] (r. [[1232]]-[[1242]]), as well as most of the [[Edo period]] emperors beginning with [[Emperor Go-Mizunoo]] (r. [[1611]]-[[1629]]) were buried there.
The temple suffered a serious fire on [[1858]]/12/22, with the Reimeiden and several other buildings burning down.<ref>Ishin Shiryô Kôyô 維新史料綱要, vol 3 (1937), 119.</ref>
It was the site, too, of the funerals of [[Emperor Komei|Emperor Kômei]] (d. [[1867]]) and his wife, [[Empress Eisho|Empress Eishô]] (d. [[1897]]). Kômei's was the last imperial funeral to be performed by Buddhist priests. That of Eishô was performed in an almost entirely [[Shinto]] manner, expunged of Buddhist elements excepting for it taking place at a Buddhist temple, which no later Imperial funerals have.<ref>Takashi Fujitani, ''Splendid Monarchy'', University of California Press (1996), 151-152.</ref>
