DescriptionYakushiji’s Kondo enshrines the Yakushi Triad, with Yakushi Nyorai at the center and Nikko Bosatsu and Gakko Bosatsu as attendants. Within the temple’s symmetrically ordered complex, the three figures convey quiet balance and nobility. Prayers to Yakushi for healing combine with the refined beauty associated with Hakuho-period Buddhist sculpture, creating a pure and disciplined atmosphere characteristic of Nara’s ancient Buddhist art.
