DescriptionKasagidera’s Miroku cliff-carved Buddha is the temple’s principal image, carved into a massive rock on Mt. Kasagi. The figure itself was lost during the Genko War, and today the enormous halo remaining on the rock face preserves its memory. At a temple where the mountain itself served as a place of faith and practice, natural rock and prayer merge with striking force. The empty space that invites visitors to imagine the lost image is part of this site’s distinctive appeal.
