Daishoin Temple 14 Chugoku Pilgrimage Part 2 Jizo, Kannon, Enma, Autumn Colours

 


This is the second part of my post on Daishoin Temple on Miyajima. The previous post is here.


Not sure exactly who this is but I suspect it is one of the Wisdom Kings.....


I believe this is a Kokuzo Bosatsu statue in what is called the Nyo Garden,,,,



The Hensho Kutsu is an artificial cave with an impressive ceiling of lanterns.


Here are 88 statues and a small amount of earth from each of the 88 temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage.


There are many, many versions of Jizo here.....


The Amida-do enshrining an Amida trinity.


For more details on the history of Daishoin please check my previous post....








A tengu......


Some miniature Jizo....


Enma..... the Judge of "Hell"....


yet anither Fudo....


Theer are numerous Kannons here, including the one that was the main Buddha of Itsukushima Shrine until the separation of Buddhas and kami in 1868
