Ganjōju-in (願成就院) is a Buddhist temple of the Kōyasan Shingon-shū sect in Izunokuni, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Founded in 1189 by Hōjō Tokimasa, it enshrines one of the few remaining works of the Kamakura period sculptor Unkei: wooden images of Amida Nyorai, Bishamonten, Fudō Myōō and two attendants.[1] Based on inscriptions found inside the sculptures, this group has been dated to 1186. Since June 19, 2013 it has been designated a National Treasure by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.[2] The temple grounds have been designated as Historic Site of Japan on February 14, 1973.[3][4]
