Zojoji was founded by the priest Yuyo Shoso in 1393 as the first Nembutsu dojo (practice hall) in the Kanto area.
During the Edo period (1600-1868), it was the family temple of the Tokugawa shoguns, reaching high prosperity as the administrative center in charge of all Jodo Shu temples in Japan. At its peak, the extensive temple grounds held more than 120 buildings with some 3,000 priests.
