Miroku-ji, Buddhist temple in Seki, Japan.
The temple features traditional Buddhist architecture with multiple halls and structures situated on landscaped grounds in the Gifu Prefecture region.
Founded during the Asuka period between 592 and 710 AD, Miroku-ji underwent reconstruction in 1689 by Buddhist monk Enkū, known for his wood sculptures.
Miroku-ji belongs to the Tendai Jimonshu school of Buddhism, which incorporates artistic expression through sculpture as part of its religious practices.
Visitors can access the temple grounds daily to view the architectural elements, meditation areas, and the tomb of Enkū located near the hillside.
The temple maintains a collection of wooden Buddha statues carved by Enkū, who created approximately 120,000 sculptures throughout his lifetime.
