Description

Sofukuji, an Obaku Zen temple founded in 1629, houses a seated Shaka Nyorai, standing Kasho and Anan attendants, and eighteen Rakan figures in its National Treasure Daiyuhoden hall. The central triad consists of hollow dry-lacquer images. Objects found inside include a record dated 1653 and the names of Chinese sculptors, including Xu Runyang. The eighteen Rakan also reflect Chinese Ming-style sculpture, with a donation record dated 1677. The statue group is designated a Tangible Cultural Property of Nagasaki Prefecture. Paid admission is available from 8:00 to 17:00.
