Description

Eijuji, a Soto Zen temple said to have been founded in 1614 by Nabeshima Shigenori as a family memorial temple, enshrines a wooden Fudo Myoo and two attendant boys in its Fudo Hall. Thought to date from the late Heian period, the 88.2 cm-high Fudo bears a wrathful expression. Kongara Doji stands with palms joined, while Seitaka Doji holds a sword. All three are nationally designated Important Cultural Properties and are said to have been moved from the now-defunct Eiseiji Temple. While visiting hours are published for the grounds, access to the images inside the hall requires advance confirmation.
