Tanden’an Temple (Rakugakidera)

Tanden’an Temple is popularly known as Rakugakidera, “the graffiti temple.” In an unusual tradition, visitors write their wishes or prayers directly on the inside walls of its Daikokudo hall to help the enshrined deity Daikokuten see them better. This replaces the more common practice of writing wishes on small wooden tablets and hanging them outside a shrine or temple hall.

Daikokuten is a god of wealth and one of the Seven Gods of Fortune. The small statue at Tanden’an is called Hashiri Daikoku, “the running Daikokuten,” because the deity is carved as if mid-stride. According to temple legend, the statue was made from a piece of the kusunoki camphor tree that Kusunoki Masashige (1294?–1336), a prominent warrior and military commander, donated to the nearby Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in prayer for victory in battle.

The origins of Tanden’an are unknown, but existing records show that it was reestablished in 1711 by Zuio (1664–1734), a monk from the Myoshinji school of Rinzai Zen Buddhism. The temple was relocated several times and eventually fell into disrepair in the early twentieth century. With support and donations from the community, it was revived in its present form in the 1950s.

單傳庵（塗鴉寺）

單傳庵也常被稱為「塗鴉寺」。其他神社、寺廟，參拜者多會把心願寫在「繪馬」（彩繪木牌）上，再將繪馬掛在殿外，這裡則是直接把祈願寫在寺院大黑堂內的牆壁上，方便殿內供奉的大黑天看到。

在日本，大黑天是七福神中掌管財富之神。單傳庵供奉的小神像被稱為「行走的大黑天」，因為小神像姿態就好像正邁步行走。依照寺廟傳說，這尊佛像所使用的香樟木，是著名武士、武將楠木正成（1294?–1336）當年為祈求勝利而捐獻給附近石清水八幡宮神社的。

單傳庵的源起已不可考，現存記錄只顯示在1711年由臨濟宗妙心寺派的瑞應和尚（1664-1734）重建。寺廟曾數度遷址，至20世紀初時荒廢塌毀，後於20世紀50年代在當地社區的支持和捐助下得以復興至今日面貌。
