A painted portrait of the Tendai monk Enchin (円珍) (814-891) dating to the Kamakura period (1185-1333), among many other accomplishments known for establishing Miidera Temple (三井寺) in Ōtsu, present-day Shiga Prefecture, as a key center of Tendai Buddhism independent of Mount Hiei

This is Konzoji, Temple 76 of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. It’s in Zentsuji, not far from where Kukai was born. The temple grounds here are wide open and peaceful, with a mix of trees, statues, and stone lanterns.

I shot these on foot, not from the air this time — sometimes it’s nice to slow down and take it all in at ground level. You’ll spot two tall stone pillars near the entrance, inscribed with beautiful calligraphy. The main hall sits at the end of a long path, flanked by manicured trees and the usual guardian statues at the gate.

The principal image here is Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Healing. A lot of people come here to pray for recovery or good health — the atmosphere suits it perfectly.

If you enjoy this kind of quiet beauty, I’ve got more temple content and travel shots over on my Linktree: 👉 https://linktr.ee/shikoku4k Licensing info is there too, if you’re after stock media.
