Description

Sousenji Temple in Yamaga enshrines five Wisdom Kings with Fudo Myoo at the center. According to the temple, they are carved from single pieces of wood and brightly painted, with an overall height exceeding eight shaku (approximately 2.4 meters), giving them a powerful presence. This Koyasan Shingon temple was revived under the name of an earlier temple, and its main hall was rebuilt in 2020. A Fudo Myoo goma fire ritual continues to be held on the 28th of each month. The date of carving, sculptors and cultural-property status are not confirmed in published sources, and visitors should check main hall access beforehand.
