Rakanji Temple - Amida Nyorai
大田市大森町イ８０４
A temple of the Koyasan Shingon school, with Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) as its principal image. The group of 500 stone statues of Arhats (Rakan) enshrined within a rock cave is registered as part of the World Heritage site 'Iwami Ginzan Mine and its Cultural Landscape'.
History
Founded in 1764 CE (Meiwa 1) by Gekkai Jōin. The creation of the 500 Arhat statues began during the Genbun era (1736–1740 CE), prior to the temple's founding. Following consultations with officials from the Omori Magistrate's Office, the project was completed over 25 years by the stone masons of the Tsubouchi Heishichi school from Onsenzu.
