Sekkoji Temple
葛城市染野３８７
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple associated with the legend of Nakahime-hime and enshrining Japan's oldest stone Buddha. It is also known as the 'Temple of Flowers' for its beautiful camellias and peonies.
History
This ancient temple is believed to have been founded in the late Asuka period (Hakuhō era). Legend holds that En no Gyōkaku built the main hall by imperial decree of Emperor Tenji. The site is also famous for the legend that Nakahime-hime dyed lotus threads to weave a mandala. A seated statue of Miroku Nyorai (Maitreya Buddha), considered Japan's oldest stone Buddha, was excavated from the temple grounds.
