Soken-in Temple is a sub temple of Daitokuji Temple and is located within the same compound in Kyoto. Soken-in Temple was established in 1582 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi as a mortuary temple of Oda Nobunaga. In the early part of the Meiji Period the Soken-in Temple was demolished and its treasures moved to other temples. In 1926 Soken-in Temple was re-established and in 1961 a wooden statue of Oda Nobunaga (designated Important Cultural Property) was returned.
