Kuhonji, Buddhist temple in Gose, Japan
The wooden statue of Amitabha Buddha stands as the main deity within Kuhonji temple, situated on Kaina-san mountain in Nara Prefecture.
Monk Gyoki established Kuhonji during the Nara period, later contributing to the construction of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji under Emperor Shomu's reign.
The temple grounds contain one thousand stone Buddha statues, carved by the Narahara clan during the Nanbokucho period as representations of their warriors.
Located at Narahara 1188 in Gose City, the temple provides parking facilities for visitors, though no restroom accommodations are available on site.
The Sanskrit name Kuhonji represents nine distinct ranks, reflecting different levels of human dignity through high, medium, and low characteristics.
