The Japan News: Kyoto Hidden Stories / Moss temple shows hand of man and nature

By Yasuhiko Mori / Yomiuri Shimbun Senior WriterSaihoji temple in Kyoto’s Nishikyo Ward is better known as Kokedera (Temple of moss). Beyond its gate, the grounds are covered in moss like a green carpet measuring about 30,000 square meters. A place like this can hardly be created overnight, so how did this garden come to be?

Life and Devotion in the Kannon Villages (English subtitles)

Published on Jan 16, 2015

Kannon (観音) is among the most revered boddhisattva deities in Japanese Buddhism and is often kept as the main object of worship at temples around Kyoto, Nara, and other historic areas of this central region such as Nagahama.

Embodying both a geographic and cultural crossroads in the heart of Japan, Nagahama City encompasses several traditional villages surrounding the northern coast of Lake Biwa, a region known as Kohoku (lake’s north side). Here in these communities, we find the continuation of a unique and centuries-old tradition to preserve the Kannon.

Known as a caring protector, Kannon gives but also receives protection from these villages as they pass the deity statues down from generation to generation with gratitude and devotion that has lasted since medieval times. See how the spirit of traditional Japan lives on even today in these communities.

Nishi Hongwanji Temple (HQ of the Jodo-shin Buddhism

Published on Oct 29, 2014

We visited the Nihshi Hongwanji Temple on Nov 25, 2011 as a part of the course on `Introduction to Japanese Religion` which is provided for the Institute for the Liberal Arts (ILA), Doshisha University. Rev. Gene Sekiya, a Hongwanji priest, guided us. In this movie he talked about the essence of Buddhism, especially Jodo-shin Buddhism, and escorted us to the Hall of Amida, the Founder`s Hall, the Shoin Complex, the Kara Gate and the Flying Cloud Pavilion.The Shin Buddhist path was founded by Shinran Shonin (1173-1263) during the Kamakura period, and in several centuries grew into one of the largest and most influential schools of Buddhism in Japan, a position it maintains today. The Hongwanji temple is the headquarters of the Hongwanji denomination of Shin Buddhism (Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha), and is known as Nishi (lit. `West`) Hongwanji.

Japanese Buddhist Statues - Japanology Plus ( 仏教 )  

Published on Oct 19, 2014

Japanese Buddhist statues come in countless shapes and forms, and they are not just objects of prayer but also meticulously crafted works of art in their own right. When Buddhism reached Japan in the mid-6th century, religious statuary came with it, and in thickly forested Japan, the statues began to be made mostly in wood. This time on Japanology Plus, we explore the deep appeal of Buddhist statues with our expert guest Yasumi Miyazawa. And in Plus One, keeping the Buddhas in your own home.
