Nembutsu-ji (Nembutsu-ji Temple)
京都市東山区本町１９丁目４０４ 念仏寺
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple known for the 'Saiin no Kawara' (West Courtyard Riverbank), where approximately 8,000 stone statues and stone pagodas are lined up.
History
The temple is said to have been founded in 811 CE (Kohun 2) when Kukai buried exposed remains and erected stone statues of the Five Wisdom Tathagatas, establishing it as Gochi-zan Nyorai-ji (Five Wisdom Mountain Tathagata Temple). Later, Honen opened a place for nembutsu (recitation of the Buddha's name) practice, and the temple was renamed Nembutsu-ji. In the 1890s (Meiji 30s), Nakayama Tsuyu excavated buried unaffiliated bodhisattvas and arranged them to resemble people listening to the Buddha's teachings, placing them in their current positions.
