The founder of Rokuharamitsuji Temple is said to be a man named Kuya. Many people may be familiar with this person, who is historically prominent and appears in Japanese history textbooks. While Buddhist statues and the Daibutsu statue give the impression of depicting a deity, a statue with a human motif is quite unusual among historical heritage sites. One thing to note is the object protruding from Kuya's mouth. According to one theory, this object is said to represent a Buddhist prayer. Kuya was a great man who continued to preach the teachings of Buddhism to the common people. There is an interesting anecdote that a Buddhist prayer, "Namu Amidabutsu ", comes out of his mouth. If you know these stories, you will enjoy sightseeing even more. We hope you will try to access this temple as one of the temples near Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
