Description

Eifukuji, a Rinzai Zen temple along the former Nagasaki Highway, preserves two outstanding stone bodhisattvas carved by the Togawa stonemasons. The Nyoirin Kannon is housed within an intricately carved stone niche, while the Jizo Bodhisattva in a half-lotus pose was made in 1736 by master craftsman Hirakawa Yoshiemon. Both are designated Important Cultural Properties of Ogi City. Visits can be arranged in advance, allowing visitors to appreciate the exceptional craftsmanship of these devotional images.
