Sōfuku-ji (崇福寺) is a Buddhist temple located in Gifu, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The temple has strong ties to both Saitō Dōsan and Oda Nobunaga.[2] Gifu's Sōfuku-ji is famed throughout Japan for both the number of monks it produces and for its "Blood Ceiling".[3] Shortly after its founding, it was also known as Kōsai-ji (弘済寺), but that name is no longer used.[1] It is also one of the Mino Thirty-three Kannon. | ||||||
