Buttsū-ji (佛通寺?) is one of fourteen autonomous branches of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, founded in 1397 or 1399 by the lord of Mihara—Kobayakawa Haruhira; its first Abbot was Buttoku Daitsu Zenji. The temple is named after its honorary founder, the Chinese master Buttsu Zenji. Located in the Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, the temple is head of the Buttsū-ji branch of Rinzai Zen, governing forty-seven temples.[1][2]
