Kōzō-ji (高蔵寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Kakuda, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan.[1] Kōzō-ji was founded in 819 AD by Tokuitsu, a monk of the Hōsso sect. It was restored in 1177 by the wife of Fujiwara Shuei, who erected the Amida-dō, which is the oldest building in the prefecture,[2][3] and one of the very few Heian period structures remaining. In 1908 it was designated an Important Cultural Property.[4] | ||||||
