DescriptionKaikō-ji, a subtemple of Sennyū-ji, is renowned for its approximately ten-meter-tall Jōroku Shaka Nyorai, affectionately called Jōroku-san. Revered as the Migawari Jōroku Shaka Nyorai, the image is believed to take on misfortune in place of worshippers, especially ailments of the head and throat. In the quiet Sennyū-ji precincts, its overwhelming scale is balanced by a deeply reassuring sense of protection.
