DescriptionEnmeiji, a Shingon Omuro Buddhist temple, was founded in 1616 by the monk Ryusen. Its principal Yakushi Ruriko Nyorai image, holding a medicine jar in its left hand, is traditionally said to have been carried here on the founder's back from Okayama. Nikko and Gakko Bodhisattvas attend the main image, surrounded by the Twelve Divine Generals. Worship continues here for healing and long life. The present Main Hall combines halls for Yakushi, Kobo Daishi and Fudo Myoo. A large prayer-bead ritual takes place on the 20th and a Fudo Myoo goma fire rite on the 28th of each month. Of the 639 floral ceiling paintings, medicinal plants appear above Yakushi.
