Jyakukozan Ryukoji Temple. Nichiren was arrested in Ankokuronji at Nagoe for interrogation by the regent Hojo Tokimune. He came to Ryunokuchi and prayed facing south at midnight, and is said to have been saved from beheading by miracles. This is the so-called Honan of Ryunokuchi , and Ryukoji Temple was built there after the death of Nichiren.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number19‐44‐0]

Tatsuno-dera Temple,Katase

This is the Ryukoji main hall completed in 1832, a wooden building roughly 22 metres wide and 27 metres deep. The official name of the temple is Jakkozan Ryukoji. According to temple records, Nippo, an apprentice of Nichiren, built the temple in 1337, but this was just a small hut at first. The temple buildings were constructed in 1601. Both the lanterns at the bottom of the stairs and the washing place on the right exist today.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐30‐0]

Tatsuno-dera Temple,Katase

The main hall is visible through the Sanmon (main gate). The official name of the temple is Jakkozan Ryukoji Temple. The construction of the gate in 1864 was sponsored by Kashimaya, a wealthy merchant house in Osaka. The main hall, Sanmon, and the all night lanterns remain to this day. The construction of Nio Gate at the bottom of the stairs in 1973 changed the landscape dramatically.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number90‐29‐0]

Katase

This photograph was taken from Shichimendo in the precincts of Ryukoji Temple. The roof of the main hall is visible to the lower right and the Sanmon (main gate) to the lower right. This was the location of an execution site called Tatsunokuchi during the Kamakura Period. Ryukoji Temple was built here because the site was considered sacred by Nichiren Sect followers, the reason being that Nichiren was almost executed here for criticizing government policies.==Date:unknown, Place:Fujisawa, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number58‐28‐0]
