Zuisen-ji is a [[Soto Zen|Sôtô Zen]] temple in [[Nagoya]].

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 11/4 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.
