Zuisen-ji is a Sôtô Zen temple in Nagoya.
The grave of musician Tomiyama peechin aka Ryô Bunpitsu is located within the grounds. Bunpitsu (1794-1832) was a member of the 1832 Ryukyuan embassy to Edo who died on 11/4 that year, at Inaba-juku in Owari province, and was buried at Zuisen-ji. The temple also holds writings by Bunpitsu, and a grave of laborers hired by Satsuma han to accompany the Ryukyuan mission was once also located on the grounds.
