Kiburi-ji, Buddhist temple in Ono, Japan

The Kiburi-ji temple complex includes several buildings, among which the Jōdodō main structure stands as a representation of Japanese Buddhist architecture.

Founded by priest Gyōki in 715 AD, Kiburi-ji faced destruction by Oda Nobunaga in 1560 before its reconstruction with support from Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The temple maintains a collection of five scroll paintings from the Heian period depicting the Myō-ō deities, recognized as National Treasures of Japan.

Located at coordinates 35.498783°N and 136.651514°E, the temple welcomes visitors interested in exploring Buddhist practices and Japanese religious heritage.

The temple houses the Amitabha Triad sculptures created by artist Kaikei between 1195 and 1197, which demonstrate exceptional craftsmanship of medieval Japanese art.
