Sambutsu

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:19:38

The main hall of the temple Rinnō-ji houses a trio of 8m gilded wooden Buddha statues: Amida Nyorai (a primal deity in the Mahayana Buddhist canon), flanked by Senjū (deity of mercy and compassion) and Batō (a horse-headed Kannon). It's exterior is under wraps for restoration until 2020.
