The Makinoodera Temple is a Buddhist temple in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. During the Sengoku period, it was part of the mountainous region of Kawachi Heights within the province of Izumi Settsu.
History
By 1581, the temple served as the home of the monk Sorin and his apprentice Junjiro. In late September, they brought a heavily-wounded Fujibayashi Naoe to the temple after finding her outside Katano Castle. Over the following months, they tended to her injuries and helped her recover,[1] while Sorin secretly encouraged Junjiro to forgive Naoe for unknowingly killing his father, Ido Yoshihiro.[2]
The boy was eventually able to overcome his anger and grief and befriended Naoe, who left the temple in early 1582 after completing her recovery, in order to pursue vengeance against the Shinbakufu for killing her father Nagato.[1] Not long after, Sorin and Junjiro also left the temple, with the former going on a pilgrimage while the latter was left in Naoe and Tomiko's care at the latter's homestead.[3]
