Taiyuji Temple

3.5

This Koyasan Shingon sect temple is a ten-minute walk from JR Osaka Station. It was constructed by Kobo Daishi in accordance with Emperor Saga's imperial prayer in the year 821. The principal Buddhist icon, the thousand-armed Kannon-bosatsu enshrined here, was a gift from Emperor Saga. The temple was razed in both the summer campaign of the Siege of Osaka, in 1615, and in the air raids of Osaka in 1945. After the war, the temple was rebuilt with the exception of the thousand-armed Kannon-bosatsu, which had escaped the flames. Acala 'The Immovable', enshrined in the Ichigan Hall, is also referred to as the one immovable prayer, and many people come to the hall to pray for world peace. Every year, on May 28th, practitioners of Shugen-do hold a unique festival, in which a fire-offering is made.

こちらは庭園《九山八海庭添付写真参照》が有名ですが更に見逃せないのが本堂の《天井画》と《欄間の龍の彫刻》です（添付写真参照）。但し本堂の《天井画》と《欄間の龍の彫刻》は別の寺院でもっと立派で美しい《天井画》や《欄間の龍の彫刻》を見たことがある方もおられると思いますが正面《扁額》の前にある大きな《龍の彫刻添付写真参照》はとても珍しいのではないでしょうか。こちらを参拝する...
