Sōken-ji (摠見寺) is a Buddhist temple on the grounds of Azuchi Castle in Ōmi, Japan.
History
In the spring of 1581, Diogo, who was recently taken as a retainer under Lord Oda Nobunaga, met with Lady Nene to learn the art of calligraphy under his mentor Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's orders. Under her instruction, she began to show how this art is composed of many virtues, such as rightheousness and courage, and how this will help understand balance and form.[1]
In 1582, going by Yasuke and having joined the Kakushiba ikki, the samurai headed to the temple and was met by Lady Nene, who was thankful for his arrival. Discussing Nobunaga's death, Nene offered her alliance with him and his new friend Fujibayashi Naoe against the Shinbakufu, especially Akechi Mitsuhide. From her own network, she revealed to him about the Shinbakufu being in Ōtsu and her contact Aoi and about her husband Toyotomi Hideyoshi's forces in Harima at Himeji. Thanking Nene for the information, Yasuke wished for her safety before leaving.[1] While there, Yasuke and Naoe found two lost pages scattered on the temple grounds. Naoe also ventured atop the temple's pagoda to survey all of Azuchi.[2]
