Myōō-ji, Buddhist temple in Sekigahara, Japan
The temple features an entrance with wooden carvings from 1862 and contains a main pavilion with white walls decorated with metallic Sanskrit characters.
Myōō-ji underwent reconstruction following damage from both the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II aerial bombardments.
The temple holds regular Goma fire ceremonies where participants write their wishes on wooden plates that are burned during the purification ritual.
The original main pavilion stands as the oldest wooden religious structure in Sekigahara, housing an important wooden statue of Fudo Myoo.
The temple walls display metallic Sanskrit characters, combining traditional Buddhist elements with contemporary architectural design.
