The Jizo Hall of this temple on Kuramaguchi-dori contains a very special statue. It is one of six statues carved from a single piece of wood by a monk named Ono-no-Takamura at the beginning of the Heian Era. That makes it really old! Each of the statues is housed at a different Pure Land Sect temple in Kyoto, and on August 22 and 23 pilgrims visit each of the six temples for the Kyoto Rokujizo Meguri. The temple may be crowded then, but when I visited, it was deserted in the late autumn sunshine.
