七佛の　みのりにもたる人もなく　皆びやうどうに　すくふせいがん

The temple was founded in 796.

- quote
History of To-ji Temple
In 794, the capital of Japan was transferred from Nara to present-day Kyoto.
With the arrival of the imperial court, the city was renamed "The Imperial City of Heiankyo" (the former name of the city of Kyoto). From the entrance of Heiankyo, an 84-meter-wide avenue ran directly north to the Imperial Palace, in the middle of the city.
The city was arranged symmetrically on either side of this grand avenue and all streets ran precisely north-south and east-west in a grid pattern. The layout of old Heiankyo is still visible in the rectilinear pattern of modern Kyoto's streets.
Two huge guardian temples were built on the east and the west sides of the main entrance of the Imperial City of Heiankyo. Unfortunately, the temple on the west side no longer exists, but To-ji, which literally means "East Temple", has survived to the present day.
In 823, the Emperor Saga honored the Monk Kukai and gave the temple to him.
Kukai made To-ji the central seminary of Shingon (or Esoteric) Buddhism and added various buildings such as the pagoda and halls.
Since then, To-ji has been the headquarters of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism.
The major buildings were damaged by earthquakes and fires but have been rebuilt to retain the original layout and the architectural styles.
Many magnificent treasures such as statues, carvings, paintings and artworks are housed in these temple buildings.

- Chant of the temple
おとにきく　なめかわてらの　けさがふち
あみころもにて　すくふなりけり

The temple was founded in 838 by High Priest 慈覚大師 Jigaku Daishi
. Jigaku Daishi Ennin 慈覚大師仁円 (Jikaku).

During a period of long famine, the 将治公 Lord of Shoji prayed for a good harvest
and promised to place a statue of Kannon Bosatsu in a new temple.
When his wish had come true, there appeared a 朝日姫 Princess Asahi and said:
"Your wish will come true!". She led the lord to the river 小田川 Odagawa
and then disappeared.
Looking closer, there was a boat in the river with an old priest, pulling a net
where a small Kannon Statue was placed.
The Lord took the statue, had a temple built for it and prayed to it.
