숭복사

소후쿠지(Sofuku-ji)는 1629년 나가사키의 중국인 공동체를 위한 황벽종 선사로 창건되었습니다.

The temple's entrance gate was originally built for a different temple in China in 1644, then disassembled, shipped to Japan, and reconstructed here in 1695.

A massive cauldron still sits in the temple grounds, made by resident priest Qianhai in 1681 to cook gruel for starving people during a famine.

Maso, the Chinese goddess of the sea, is enshrined here in life-sized statues. Her worship never caught on widely in Japan despite being popular with Chinese mariners trading into Nagasaki.
