History
Eigen-ji's first abbot was the famous poet and roshi Jakushitsu Genko. It was a popular destination for members of the 'Five Mountain Schools of Zen' during the Onin War of the 15th century. After a series of fires that burned the place down during the late 15th and first half of the 16th century, a newly installed abbot named Isshi Bunshu restored the temple. He is commonly referred to as its second founder.
Present day
Today it is the head temple of the Eigen-ji branch of Rinzai Zen and governs more than 120 temples and one monastery.[1][2]
