DescriptionKanimanji’s Main Hall enshrines a National Treasure bronze seated Shaka Nyorai. This joroku-scale gilt-bronze Buddha preserves the character of the Hakuho period, and behind its quiet expression lies the weighty presence distinctive of ancient Buddhist sculpture. The temple’s famous legend of the grateful crab and the enduring power of an image preserved across centuries come together to leave a simple yet profound impression.
