Kanimanji Temple

Temple
Kanimanji is a temple of the Chisan branch of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, located in the city of Kizugawa in Kyoto Prefecture. The statue of the seated Buddha Shaka Nyorai Zazo enshrined there has been designated a National Treasure. It is famous as the site of a medieval folk tale, The Crab's Show of Gratitude, collected in the 12th-century anthology Konjaku Monogatari. Every year in April, an event called The Memorial Service for Crabs attracts large numbers of visitors.

    国宝の釈迦如来坐像は、仏教美術史上最高傑作とされる薬師寺金堂の薬師像と同レベルの秀作と言われている。それを、ガラスや柵越しでなく、触ることのできる距離で拝観できる貴重な経験が可能なお寺です。*触ってはいけません。今昔物語集の「蟹の恩返し」にまつわる話も楽しい、ちょっと息をつくことが出来るお寺です。
  • 素晴らしい仏像と周りの景色

    蟹満寺は観光寺院ではなく檀家のあるお寺で、ご本尊は白鳳期の国宝釈迦如来坐像です。京都市内のお寺も良いですが、一旦お寺の外に出るとそこは俗世間の喧騒の世界です。一方こちらの寺は周辺の田園風景に溶け込んでいて素晴らしいと感じます。
