Zuisen-ji is a [[Soto Zen|Sôtô Zen]] temple in [[Nagoya]], in the neighborhood of the former [[Tokaido|Tôkaidô]] [[shukuba|post-station]] of [[Narumi-juku]]. It was originally established in [[1396]] by [[Yasuhara Munenori]]. The main gate of the temple, designated a cultural asset by [[Aichi prefecture]], dates back to [[1756]] and was designed in emulation of a gate at [[Manpuku-ji]] in [[Uji]].<ref>Plaques on-site.[https://www.flickr.com/photos/toranosuke/45389464245/sizes/l]</ref>
    
The grave of musician Tomiyama ''[[peechin]]'' aka [[Ryo Bunpitsu|Ryô Bunpitsu]] is located within the grounds. Bunpitsu ([[1794]]-[[1832]]) was a member of the 1832 [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]] who died on 11/3 that year, at [[Inaba-juku]] in [[Owari province]], and was buried at Zuisen-ji the following day. The temple also holds several works of calligraphy by Bunpitsu, believed to have been brought to the temple by future Ryukyuan missions (in [[1842]] and [[1850]]) from Ryûkyû, as they visited their countryman's grave.<ref>''Minoji wo yuku Ryûkyû shisetsu'' 美濃路をゆく琉球使節, Bisai Museum of History and Folklore 尾西市歴史民俗資料館, Bisai, Aichi (2004), 12.</ref>
