DescriptionThe Amida triad enshrined in the shrine cabinet of Hasshoji Amida Hall carries an inscription dated 1490 and is designated an Important Cultural Property by Kumamoto Prefecture. All three images are made from joined cypress wood with carved eyes. The central Amida Nyorai forms the Jobon-gesho hand gesture, Kannon Bodhisattva holds a lotus pedestal, and Seishi Bodhisattva joins the hands in prayer. The hall dates to the late fifteenth century and is a nationally Important Cultural Property, a designation that also includes the shrine cabinet housing the statues. The interior is normally closed, so visitors must book in advance through the town education office.
