Dai'edō
The building now known as the Dai’edō, or Great Gathering Hall, was originally erected in 1175 at the wishes of Imperial Princess Itsutsusai-in (1145 -1208) for the memory and salvation of her father, Emperor Toba (1103–1156).
At the time it was called Rengejō-in and was located about a kilometer to the east of its current location. As the venue for marathon sutra reading services, which could last for days, it was later moved to the Danjō Garan. The move to its current location was carried out by the famous poet-priest Saigyō (1112-1190), who served, at the time, as the priest in charge of fund raising (kanjin) for Rengejō-in.The current building, a reconstruction from 1848, is still used for large memorial services and houses images of the Buddha Amida Nyorai along with the bodhisattvas Daiseishi and Kannon.
