*''Japanese'': 等持院 ''(Touji-in)''
Tôji-in is a Buddhist temple near the foot of Mt. Kinugasa in northwestern central Kyoto belonging to the [[Tenryu-ji|Tenryû-ji]] school of [[Rinzai]] [[Zen]]. It is known as the site of the grave of [[Ashikaga Takauji]], and the home of a number of wooden sculptures of [[Ashikaga shogunate|Ashikaga shoguns]] that were beheaded in an infamous incident in the [[Bakumatsu]] period. The funerals for a number of notable members of the [[Ashikaga clan]] took place at Tôji-in.
==History==
Following the fall of the Ashikaga shogunate, the temple fell into ruin for a time, but was restored in [[1606]] by [[Toyotomi Hideyori]]. Most of the key buildings standing on the grounds today date to restoration efforts following an [[1808]] fire, completed in [[1818]].
