Ichigyooin 一行院 Ichigyo-In - Shinjuku, Minamimotomachi
永固山 Eikozan 一行院 Ichigyoin 千日寺 Sennichi-Ji
東京都新宿区南元町19-2 / Tokyo, Shinjuku, Minami-Motomachi
正観世音菩薩 Sho Kanzeon Bosatsu
in the 観音堂 Kannon Do Hall.
The main statue is 阿弥陀如来 Amida Nyorai.
The temple was founded in 1606 by 第九世源蓮社本誉上人利覚和尚, abbot of the temple 赤坂浄土寺 Jodo-Ji in Akasaka.
永井直勝 Nagai Naokatsu (1563 - 1626) layed the foundation, creating a temple out of the hermitage of the 永井家 Nagai clan.
The Nagai clan was the 信濃守 the Lord of Shinano. The area of his estate was called
信濃殿町 Shinanodono machi or 信濃原 Shinanohara, now called 信濃町 Shinano town.
The founder Naokatsu was a priest performing a ritual for sennichi 千日 1000 days and the temple was called 千日寺 Sennichi-Ji. The surrounding valley was called 千日谷 Sennichidani.
Around 1955, some parts of the temple compound and cemetrey were used for other purposes in the growing city of Tokyo.
The new temple was built by the famous architect Kuma Kengo.

Kengo Kuma 隈研吾
In 1964, 10-year old Kengo Kuma visited Tokyo and stood in awe of the swooping, concrete Olympic stadiums designed by Kenzo Tange. These megalithic forms, which spiral off the ground in simultaneous expression and defiance of physics, captured the energy of rapidly industrializing Japan and inspired Kuma to become an architect. Today, Kuma's architecture is recognized around the world, often in the form of museums and skyscrapers that display quietly rule-bending geometries engineered of discretely simple elements. Despite his immense portfolio, the seasoned architect — whose firm was recently tapped to design a new stadium for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics — shows no less enthusiasm for smaller scale projects, such as his firm's recently completed addition to the Jodo Shu Ichigyo-in Temple in Tokyo.
Located in Tokyo's Shinjuku district, the Edo-era Inchigyo-in sits in the line of sight of numerous neighboring mid- and high-rises. Kengo Kuma and Associates took note of the frequent aerial view of the temple and designed a new, low-lying main hall covered with a large, gently inclined roof. From above, the roof appears to lift gently off the ground, sheltering the structure beneath with a sheet of half-cylinder aluminum shingles that recall traditional kawara tiling. This distinctive covering cantilevers out at an angle, casting a protective shade that beckons visitors in toward the building's wood-paneled façade.
As in many of Kuma's works, modern glass and aluminum often serve as the backdrop to visibly grained wooden elements. In the main hall of the Ichigyo-in, brightly hued cedar spreads generously throughout, the wood's naturally rippling imprints adding an organic quality to a mostly rectilinear interior. In the basement, temple visitors can find an automated ossuary. Partitioning cedar-wood screens introduce intimacy and enclosure into the underground space while keeping it bright and open, allowing the ossuary to function as a community space that gathers people and facilitates connections with ancestors.
