Seiryō-ji🍃🌺

he main hall (Shakado) of Seiryō-ji Temple has been designated as a tangible cultural property of Kyoto Prefecture. 🍃🌺 The wooden standing Shaka Nyorai statue and its internal items, the wooden Amitabha Tathagata and the two attendant seated statues, and the silk-colored sixteen arhats are all designated as national treasures. These structures and cultural heritages not only demonstrate the religious significance of Reikō-ji but also showcase the excellence of Japanese Buddhist art. 🌿 🍃🌺 The development of Reikō-ji reflects the changes and integration of Japanese Buddhist sects. From the Kegon sect to the Tendai sect, Shingon sect, and then to the Yūzū Nembutsu sect, Reikō-ji has witnessed the diverse historical trajectory of Japanese Buddhism. 🍃🌺 As a venue for the Yūzū Nembutsu sect, Reikō-ji has held an important place in Japanese Buddhist history after the Muromachi period. #Kyoto 🌺
