Temple was built by the widow to Hideyoshi (warlord).Gold-relief lacquerware
called Maki-e is exhibitied here.The origin of this temple lie in the
volatile Momoyama (16th century) period. Nene, the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi,
built Kodaiji and the North Garden (Kita-teien) at Fushimi castle for
her husband. When he died, the garden was transferred to Kyoto from Fushimi.
Construction of the temple, Kodai-in, began in 1603 with some garden work
being done two years later. The name was changed to Kodaiji in 1606. Entokuin,
built in 1627, is actually a subtemple of the Kodaiji complex, located
across the street. The narrow street that passes between Entokuin and
Kodaiji is still called Nene Street.
