Description

Nanrinji in Asakura enshrines a wooden seated Yakushi Nyorai, designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Yakushi is revered for relieving illness. Temple tradition attributes the statue to Saicho, but this is a traditional account rather than a confirmed identification of its maker. Ritual prayers continue at this Shingon Daikakuji-school temple. The principal image is revealed during the first goma ceremony on the second Sunday of January and for the flower festival on April 8. On April 8 it is unveiled all day and visitors are offered sweet tea.
