Enju-an, Buddhist temple in Tennoji district, Japan

Enju-an temple displays an eleven-faced Kannon statue as its principal object of worship within a reconstructed main hall from 1950.

During the Siege of Osaka in 1614, military commander Sanada Yukimura placed a sickle into a sacred tree at this location for military success.

The temple grounds contain the tomb of Keichū, a Buddhist scholar who established Japanese classical studies through his extensive research work.

Visitors can reach Enju-an by walking 13 minutes from JR Tamatsukuri Station or 15 minutes from Kintetsu Uehonmachi Station.

People continue the tradition of hammering sickles into the sacred elm tree to break negative connections and pray for success.
