Myôkenji is one of the chief temples of [[Nichiren Buddhism]], and was founded in [[1321]] by [[Nichizo Shonin|Nichizô Shônin]], a disciple of a disciple of [[Nichiren]] himself. It was the first Nichiren temple to be established in [[Kyoto]], and received special recognition and rank from [[Emperor Go-Daigo]] in [[1334]].

It was not always on its current site, however. It was moved from its original location, near Nishitôin Nijô, to the current site in [[1593]], on the orders of [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]]. The temple burned down in the [[Great Fire of Temmei]] in [[1788]], and was rebuilt in [[1834]]; it is that 1834 reconstruction which still stands today. The graves of [[Ogata Korin|Ogata Kôrin]] and [[Ogata Kenzan]] can be found in the sub-temple Senmyôin nearby, while the main temple holds in its vaults a number of famous works by Kôrin (and presumably by his brother as well).
