Description

The wooden standing Bishamonten and Fudo Myoo at Nichiouji are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan. The Bishamonten is about 177.3 cm high, made of joined hinoki wood, covered with cloth, and decorated with kirikane and pigments; it stands on a demon figure. The Fudo Myoo is about 159.4 cm high and is likewise made of joined hinoki wood with an overall cloth covering; its hair is colored with red ochre and the body with pale green pigment. Both are thought to date from the early Kamakura period and are traditionally said to have come from Kojimadera Temple in Nara Prefecture. Viewing requires advance written application to Nichiouji stating the date and time, number of visitors, and telephone number.
