DescriptionEnnoji’s Main Hall houses a group of the Ten Kings centered on a seated Enma Daio. Enma has long been feared as the judge of the dead, but at Ennoji the figure is revered not merely to frighten people but as a Buddhist mirror for reconsidering how one lives. The hall carries the tension of the afterlife and has an unusual depth among Kamakura’s Buddhist sites. It leaves a powerful impression in a way distinct from gentleness or peace.
