文京区湯島2-21-6 / 2 Chome-21-6 Yushima, Bunkyō ward / 湯島霊雲寺 Yushima Reiun-Ji
Shingon Sect : 霊雲寺派
This temple was founded in 1691 by 覚彦浄厳律師 Kakugen Jogon (1639 - 1702), who was a protegee of the influential Shogunate advisor, 柳沢吉保 Yanagizawa Yoshiyasu.
The main statue is 胎蔵界・金剛界大日如来 Dainichi Nyorai of both Mandalas.
To find their protector deity, a person blindfolded would stand on the Mandala and throw a paper flower in the air. It landed on the deity in question. This ritual called 結縁灌頂 Kechien Kanjo was propagated by Kakugen.
Reiun-Ji was built on request of the 5th Shogun, 徳川綱吉 Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, as 永代祈願所 a temple to pray for the Tokugawa shogunate. It was located in the North-East direction of Edo castle, a direction of the kimon 鬼門 to "keep away the Demons".
It is the main temple of the Shingon Risshu Sect 真言律宗 and has more than 46 sub-tempels.
Tsunayoshi painted 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O and Daigensui 大元帥明王 Taigen (Atavaka) for the temple, but the Daigensui painting together with other important treasures, was lost in the fires of war.
The temple was destroyed during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. After rebuilding, it burned again at the end of the Second World War.
The Main Hall was built in 1976. There are other halls in the compound, including one for Daigensui, the 大元堂 Daigen-Do.

In the temple compound is
彰義隊九士の首塚 the head mound of 9 samurai of the Shogitai group
- quote -
The Shôgitai was a pro-shogunate military unit formed in 1868 to combat anti-shogunate forces.
The group was originally formed in 1868/2, by
Hitotsubashi branch retainer Shibusawa Seiichirô, Hatamoto Amano Hachirô and 67 pro-Bakufu comrades who gathered at that time in Zôshigaya. They were first stationed at a temple in Asakusa, then moved to Kan'ei-ji in Ueno to serve as the guards of Shogun Tokugawa Yoshinobu.
The Shôgitai was destroyed by imperial troops in the 5/15 Battle of Ueno.
Some members then joined other pro-Bakufu troops in the North, while other members demobilized and returned to Edo.
A tomb for the Shôgitai can be found today in Ueno Park. The smaller of the two main tombstones was erected in 1869 by a priest of Kan'ei-ji, while the larger was erected in 1874 by Ogawa Okisato, a surviving member of the group. The site was cared for by the Ogawa family for around 120 years, before it was named an important cultural asset of Tokyo's Taitô-ku (Taitô Ward) in 1990.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government took over responsibility for the site in 2003.
