A temple of the Obaku sect, enshrining the 'Gifu Daibutsu (Great Buddha of Gifu)' as its principal image. This is the largest dry-lacquer (kanshitsu) Buddha statue in Japan.
History
Founded in 1638 by the monk Koin. In 1692, it converted to the Obaku sect and was established as a head temple by the monk Sengou. Around 1791, the 11th abbot, Suuchi, began the construction of the Great Shakyamuni Buddha statue, which was completed in 1832 under the direction of the 12th abbot, Kousou.
