DescriptionJodoji, a Jodo Buddhist temple in Nishideramachi, Karatsu, is said to have been established in 1568. Its principal image is a wooden standing Amida Nyorai, 69.5 cm tall and thought to date from the late Heian period. The statue is designated an Important Cultural Property by Karatsu City, and a temple information listing says it can normally be viewed inside the main hall. Built in 1958, the hall has an unusual dome-like roof said to have been modeled on the architecture of Tsukiji Hongwanji.
