Description

The grounds of Reitoji Temple in Maesawa, Oshu, contain a group of stone Rakan and Thirty-Three Kannon images. In addition to Rakan and Kannon figures with varied expressions and poses, the grounds are dotted with many other stone Buddhist images, including a Peace Kannon, a Thirteen Buddhas monument, an image of the First Turning of the Dharma Wheel, and a wish-making Kannon. The temple’s official website presents them as points of interest to discover while walking through the grounds. Rather than focusing on a single image, the appeal lies in encountering many different Buddhist figures while strolling through the precincts, making this a distinctive outdoor Buddhist spot.
