japaneseaesthetics:“Hokan Shaka Nyorai is the principal image of worship at Kamakura’s Engaku-ji Temple. Engaku-ji Temple in Kamakura was founded by the shogunal regent, Hōjō Tokimune in 1282 to pay respect to the samurai who had died defending Japan from the Mongol invasions of 1274 and 1281. The temple steadily grew in size and much of what visitors see today was built in the Muromachi and Edo period due to damage from fires and earthquakes.” Text and photography by Rekishi no Tabi on Flickr -- source link
