Sekihō-ji, Buddhist temple in Fushimi-ku, Japan
The temple complex stands on a hill with stone stairs leading to the main hall containing a statue of Yakushi Nyorai, the Buddha of Healing.
Established in 1713 by Shoan Sengai from Manpuku-ji Temple, the complex relocated from its original site in Settsu Province after discovering a buried Buddha statue.
The temple grounds contain stone sculptures of five hundred Buddhist disciples created by the renowned artist Jakuchu Ito during the Edo period.
Visitors can reach the temple within 5 minutes on foot from Fukakusa Station on the Keihan Electric Railway or 8 minutes from Inari Station.
The temple holds an annual memorial service called Jakuchu-ki on September 10th, honoring the artist Jakuchu who rests in the temple grounds.
