DescriptionChusonji’s Main Hall enshrines Shaka Nyorai as its principal image. Although the splendor of Konjikido often draws the most attention, the Main Hall is the central place that receives the temple’s everyday faith. The prayers of the Oshu Fujiwara clan, who sought to create a Buddhist Pure Land at Hiraizumi, overlap with Tendai teachings connected to Mt. Hiei, giving the quiet hall a profound sense of accumulated time. Distinct from Konjikido, this is a place to encounter Chusonji’s underlying devotional core.
