DescriptionA temple associated with the Great Buddha of Kyoto commissioned by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. A vast Great Buddha Hall once stood here, creating one of the capital’s most monumental Buddhist spaces. The present Main Hall enshrines Rushana Buddha, while the famous bell bearing the inscription “Kokka Anko” preserves memories of the glory and downfall of the Toyotomi family. The weight of history and the dignity of the Buddha quietly overlap at this site.
