DescriptionMifukuji in Shiroishi preserves a 77.7 cm wooden standing Amida Nyorai. An inscription on the wrapper of scriptures deposited inside the statue records its creation in 1222 by the Buddhist sculptor Rinken. The figure makes the welcoming mudra and is decorated with gold pigment and delicate cut-gold patterns, displaying the craftsmanship of the Kamakura period. Designated an Important Cultural Property of Saga Prefecture in 2020, it is normally hidden but is unveiled at the temple's annual November Buddha Statue Festival.
