Senjokaku

In 1587, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the priest Ankokuji Ekei to build the Daikyodo in order to read the Senbu Sutra once a month. It is the largest wooden building on the island and has been called Senjokaku because it has a size of 857 tatami mats. Since the construction was canceled due to Hideyoshi's sudden death, the ceiling is not stretched except on the top of the Kamukura, and it remains unfinished. In the Edo period, it seems that people were already familiar with this place as a place for interaction and coolness, and the big pillars have the names of Kabuki actors at that time and senryu. The Buddhist statue was moved to Daiganji Temple by the Meiji decree to separate Shinto and Buddhism, and became Toyotomi Shrine, which enshrines Hideyoshi.
