Kai Kokubun-ji Temple

The Kai Kokubun-ji is a Buddhist temple located in the city of Fuefuki, Yamanashi, Japan. It belongs to the Myōshin-ji branch of the Rinzai school of Japanese Zen and its honzon is a hibutsu statue of Yakushi Nyōrai. It is the descendant of one of the provincial temples established by Emperor Shōmu during the Nara period (710 – 794) for the purpose of promoting Buddhism as the national religion of Japan and standardizing control of the imperial rule to the provinces. The temple's Main Hall, Yakushi-dō, Rōmon, temple plaque, waniguchi, roof bracket and a woodblock for printing amulets are all designated Tangible Cultural Properties of Fuefuki City. The ruins of the Nara period temple are adjacent to the modern temple and were designated as a National Historic Site in 1922.
