DescriptionRengonin, a Shingon Buddhist temple of the Omuro branch said by Kashima City to have been founded in the late ninth century, preserves two seated Amida Nyorai images and one seated Yakushi Nyorai. All three are said to have survived the destruction of the temple buildings during the Sengoku period and are nationally designated Important Cultural Properties. The statues reflect the Jocho style of the late Heian period. Kashima City's tourism information indicates that the images may be viewed, but visitors should confirm opening arrangements directly with the temple.
