Description

The Enku Furusato Museum within the Minami Furusato Museum in Gujo’s Minami district displays about 90 Buddhist statues by Enku spanning his early through late periods. Gujo City describes Minami as a place closely associated with Enku, where he is thought to have taken Buddhist vows and where many of his works remain. The museum allows visitors to see the development of his carving style across his lifetime in one place, making it a particularly worthwhile destination for those interested in Enku statues. The collection is normally open to the public from 10:00 to 16:00.
