Gyoki opened Zenpukuji temple, and Ninsai Shonin rebuilt it. Statue of Shotokutaishi at this temple that was made in the Kamakura Period, is registered as the important cultural properties of Japan. Also the temple has the large kettle for the tea ceremony that is called “Amidado kettle”. Hideyoshi was very impressed and amused at the head shape of the Buddhist monk in Amidado.
He ordered Rikyu to make a kettle in the image of the head shape. Tenkaichi Yojiro, was the craftsman of kettles, made a kettle for Rikyu. So, the kettle had been called as “Amidado kettle”. The tea party is held every April after Sakura festival there. Please bring your pen. 善福寺は行基が開基し仁西上人が再興した曹洞宗に属する仏教寺院です。この寺の聖徳太子像は国の重要文化財で鎌倉時代の作です。樹齢200年を超える一重のしだれ桜はイトザクラと呼ばれ、神戸市民の木に指定されています。伝わる大ぶりの茶釜は、阿弥陀堂の住職の頭の形を面白がった秀吉が、その形に似せて利休にじて天下一与次郎に作らせたことから阿弥陀堂釜と名づけられました。毎年4月、桜祭りの後桜の茶会が開催されます。筆記具を持参ください。
