Chūson-ji
Chūson-ji is a Tendai Buddhist temple complex at Hiraizumi in Iwate prefecture, northern Japan. It was greatly expanded in the early 12th century by Fujiwara no Kiyohira, founder of the Northern Fujiwara, after the wars in Mutsu. Its Konjikidō, a small hall covered in gold leaf completed in 1124, holds the mummified remains of the first three Northern Fujiwara lords. It is part of the Hiraizumi World Heritage Site.
