九品仏の正式名称は「九品山唯在念仏院浄真寺」というそうですが、開山した珂碩上人が浄真寺に安置した9躯の阿弥陀仏から九品仏という名称で知られているそうです。

Jyoshinji Temple, known as "Kuhonbutsu", was built in 1678 by Saint Kaseki(1618-1694).
"Kuhonbutsu" was named after the nine Buddha statues enshrined at the temple.
"Kuhonbutsu" Temple is located to the west of Jiyugaoka in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.
If you walk to the north from Kuhonbutsu Station on the Oimachi Line, you will arrive at the temple in three minutes.
The below picture shows the "Somon" Gate of "Kuhonbutsu" Temple.
Just behind the "Somon" Gate, "Enma-do" Hall (the hall dedicated to "Enma-O") is located.
When I visited, the front door of "Enma-do" hall was open and the statue of "Eanma-O" was seen.
"Eenma-O" is the king of hell who convicts a criminal of a dead person, and who decides the dead person to go to hell.
The face of "Eenma-O" looks very angry.
On your right after passing through "Nio-Mon" Gate, you will see the Main Hall.
The Main Hall was built in 1698.
To the west from the Main Hall, three halls are located.
They are Jyoubon-Do (the Prime Hall), Chubon-Do (the Middle Hall) and Gebon-Do (the Inferior Hall).
Three Amitabha statues in each hall (total nine Amitabha statues) are enshrined.
These Amitabha statues are based on "Latter Day of the Law".
It is the Pure Land Buddhism, which means that believers of Amitabha will go to heaven after their death.
There are nine ranks depending on how much you devote to Amitabha.
