Taima-ji, Buddhist temple in Isesaki, Japan
The temple complex includes multiple halls, including the Main Mandala Hall, Kondou, and Koudou, which contain Buddhist statues and important cultural artifacts.
Prince Maroko, brother of Prince Shotoku, established the temple in 612, contributing to the spread of Buddhism across Japan during its early development period.
The temple features the Taima Mandala, a graphical representation of the Sukhavati Pure Land, which holds National Treasure status and attracts Pure Land Buddhist pilgrims.
The temple grounds contain numerous structures for visitors to explore, including two original pagodas from 710 AD and gardens with seasonal flower displays.
The temple maintains Japan's oldest surviving clay Maitreya statue, created in 681 AD, housed within the Kondou Hall as a testament to early Buddhist craftsmanship.
