Kiyoshikōjin Seichō-ji, Nishinomiya

Kiyoshikōjin Seichō-ji is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Takarazuka, Hyōgo, Japan. It is one of the typical type of mixture of Shintoism and Buddhism temples in Japan, and temple's name has two Chinese letters of two religions in Japan together, 'Jin' of Shintoism and 'Ji' of Buddhism. This type of mixture of two religions, called 'Shinbutsu shugo' was very common among Japanese temples or shrines until the Edo period, but the two religions were formally and forcedly separated by Meiji Government in the last half of the 19th century. In this sense, this temple is a good example that still preserves Japanese religious traditions before modernization. ()
