toji

Toji is a romanization that can refer to several East Asian terms in Japanese and Korean contexts. It appears as the name of a temple, the title of a major Korean novel, and as a personal name in Japanese usage, among other uses. In English-language reference works, Toji commonly denotes either the Japanese temple To-ji or the Korean novel The Land (토지, Toji).

To-ji Temple, also written as To-ji or East Temple, is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. It is a major temple of the Shingon sect and is especially noted for its five-story pagoda, a landmark of Kyoto's historic landscape. The temple complex dates to the early Heian period and has played a central role in religious and cultural life in the region.

The Land, or Toji in Korean, is a multi-volume epic novel by Park Kyung-ni, published between 1969 and 1980. It follows generations of families across the late Joseon era into the early 20th century, exploring social change, politics, and personal fates. Widely regarded as one of Korea's greatest literary works, it has been translated into several languages and remains a touchstone of modern Korean literature.

As a given name, Toji can be used in Japanese contexts with various kanji, and may appear in fiction or real life. It is also encountered in popular culture as the name of characters, such as Toji Fushiguro in the manga and anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
