Stone Buddha Statues at Ten-yoji
Temple
You can see the Stone Buddha Statues when
you turn left just below the top of Hotokeyama observatory and go down
the path to the end.
In 2015, the town board of education investigated these
stone Buddha statues and reported as below at the present
stage. It is said that there are possibly Twelve of
Thirty-three Kannon, one of sixteen Rakan, three jyusanbutsu(thirteen
Buddha) and four of others, and their executor is the same person,
(sizes, materials, the remains of chisels), the produce date are also
assumed the same.
It is also guessed that each stone Buddha was placed
separately and later they were gathered in today’s
place. Furthermore, they are also painted on the Ema in
Kannon-do Hall and more clarification is expected.
