Originally built in 1712, the pagoda underwent three major repairs in 1801, 1812 and 1858. JIMON carvings may be seen engraved on it’s pillars, architraves and the likes. The end of rafters are ornamented with dragons carved in the full round. On the wooden siding walls are the sculptures of the sixteen RAKAN or Buddha’s disciples who attained Nirvana.

Hiya Clarissa,
That must have been a lovely visit for you, seeing that iconic structure so close by.
Lovely close up shot of the pagoda.
I dreamed of visiting Japan someday. I love to see the big pagodas too. BTW, thanks for visiting my Music Monday!
