English: Ansho-ji Temple was founded by a nyuto-priest (priest wet to China for studying), Keiun, in the year 848 following a vow made by FUJIWARA no Nobuko, the concubine of the Emperor Ninmei and the mother of Emperor Buntoku.
Japanese: 嘉祥元年（848年）、仁明天皇女御で文徳天皇の母・藤原順子の発願により、入唐僧・恵運によって創建された。
English: Due to its connection to the mother of the emperor, the temple was made a Jogaku-ji (government-subsidized temple) in the year 855.
