Reisuiji Temple Tainai Buddha Museum

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

A museum located in Une Takatsuki-cho, Nagahama City. The self-described “tiniest museum in the world,” the museum’s exhibition space is just 9.93 square meters in size and contains informational panels on the Reisui Temple’s principal object of worship, a seated, 11 headed Kanzeon Bodhisattva created in the Edo period as a “sheath Buddha” statue to encapsulate a smaller “tainai (‘interior’) Buddha” statue which escaped being destroyed by fire during the Battle of Shizugatake.
