History of Ninna-ji

Ninna-ji was founded by the fifty-ninth emperor, Uda, in the fourth year of Ninna(888).
The temple was formerly called ''the Old Imperial Palace of Omuro,'' as it served as a residence for the emperors through the ages. Today it is widely known for being the headquarters of the Omuro School of the Shingon Sect of Buddhism, which in turn houses the headquarters for the famous Omuro School of Flower Arrangement.

Among the various noteworthy temple buildings, including the two tea houses, almost all of which are designated as either National Treasures or as Important Cultural Properties, are the Kondo and Miedo halls which were moved from the Kyoto Imperial Palace and rebuilt here.
A major characteristic of the temple structures is that they include Goten, usually seen only in palace architecture.
The temple boasts a magnificent collection of treasures which amounts to more than 600 items. The artifacts span sculpture, painting, calligraphy, lacquered works and ceramics, all of which can be viewed twice a year at Reiho-kan: April-May, and October-November. The uniquely low-branched cherry trees called ''Omuro Zakura'' are another treasure of the temple and garnish the surroundings with their singular scenic beauty each spring.
