Shitenno-ji Buddhist Temple in Osaka – Night View

Shitennō-ji (四天王寺, Temple of the Four Heavenly Kings) is a Buddhist temple located in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, Japan.

This is an ancient temple founded by Prince Shōtoku who was known for his profound Buddhist faith when Buddhism was not widespread in Japan during the 6th century.

The temple was first built in 593. Prince Shōtoku invited three Korean carpenters from the Baekje Kingdom. They brought knowledge and led the construction of Shitennō-ji.

The temple buildings were rebuilt several times over the centuries. Most of the present structures are from when the temple was last completely rebuilt in 1963.
