Gansen-ji (岩船寺) is a Buddhist temple located south of Sakai in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan.
History
In the 1580s, the temple served as a hideout for a faction of the Ikkō-ikki led by Kyonyo. There, Kyonyo led an effort to continue his resistance against Oda Nobunaga, for which he was disowned by his father Kennyo. In 1582, when one of Nobunaga's samurai, Wada Koretake, led an attack on the temple, Kyonyo sent word throughout Settsu requesting assistance, which was indirectly answered by the Igan kunoichi Fujibayashi Naoe.[1]
Naoe arrived at the temple, finding it ransacked, and assisted the sōhei against Koretake's men. After dispatching the attackers, Naoe met with Kyonyo and explained her reason for seeking him out. After being joined by Yaya, one of Kyonyo's associates from Honganji, Naoe was directed to recruit an ally named Mitsumune as well as to locate Oda Nobunaga's chief executioner, Shindo Hiroshii, in the hopes of tracking down Koretake's whereabouts.[1] Sometime afterwards, Naoe returned to the temple and made prayers at several of its smaller shrines.[2]
