Nyohō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kōriyama, Japan
The temple exhibits traditional Japanese Buddhist architecture with wooden structures spread across the mountain landscape of Kōriyama.
The temple underwent reconstruction in 1669 under lord Yasuoki Kato, who appointed Zen monk Yotaku Bankei to establish it as part of the Myoshinji Rinzaishu denomination.
Inside the Buddha hall, 96 dragon paintings decorate the ceiling while a Shakanyorai Image occupies the central altar platform called Shumidan.
The temple maintains specific areas for monks' daily activities, including meditation spaces and storage facilities with traditional chest drawers called Kanki.
The temple houses a clay statue of Yotaku Bankei from 1697 that contains the monk's actual bone ashes and features his real hair and mustache.
