History

According to the temple records, Kukai founded the temple, and named it Shourinsan Koufukuji (少林山高福寺 lit. Small Grove Mountain, Great Luck Temple).

The statues that flank the main Honzon on the left and right are thought to be created by the great sculptor Tankei in the year at the beginning of the Karoku era, 1225. However there are no records of Tankei having any relation to the Tosa domain. There is also an explanation that sometime during the Kamakura period, Unkei along with his eldest son Tankei had arrived at the temple and renamed it “Keiun-ji” (慶運寺).

Following the Kamakura period, the temple was in ruins, but during the Tensho era (1573-1593) a new priest that was a supporter of Chosokabe Motochika during the Sengoku period, revived the temple as a Rinzai Zen temple. During the fourth year of the Keicho era (1599) Chosokabe Motochika died of illness, and the temple became the bodaiji of the Chosokabe family. The present day temple name was taken from the posthumous priest name of Chosokabe Motochiki to become Sekkei-ji.

Following the expulsion of Buddhism during the Meiji era, the temple was abandoned in 1870, the following year Hada Shrine was built in order to house the statue shintai of Chosokabe Motochika.[1]

gollark: Personally, I blame websites and the increasingly convoluted web standards for browser performance issues. Websites with a few tens of kilobytes of contents to a page often pull in megabytes of giant CSS and JS libraries for no good reason, and browsers are regularly expected to do a lot of extremely complex things. With Unicode even text rendering is very hard.
gollark: Memory safety issues are especially problematic in things like browsers, so avoiding them is definitely worth something.
gollark: > google blames c/c++ and its lack of warnings to devs about memory issues for most of the critical bugs in chrome<@528315825803755559> I mean, it's a fair criticism. You can avoid them if you have a language (like Rust) which makes them actual compile errors.
gollark: Well, if it's just "one column picked from each row, one combination of columns is valid", and there's no other information, I don't see how you can do it without brute force, which is impractical because there are apparently 1329227995784915872903807060280344576 (4^60) combinations.
gollark: So 60 rows and 4 columns, or...?
