This is the
most famous temple along the Yagyu Road. The main hall was built in the
Muromachi period with the Amida-do style of the Fujiwara era. In the Tahoto-hall
is placed the image of Great Sun Buddha (national treasure), on which
Unkei, a noted sculptor of Buddhist images, inscribed his name when he
was young.The Kasuga-do Hall and the Hakusan-do Hall (national treasure), which protect the temple in its precincts, are the oldest shrine buildings of the Kasuga style in Japan. The Enjo-ji Garden, made in the Fujiwara era, is a well-laid-out garden of the Pure Land (Jodo) style, on the pond of which small boats can be floated. |
