Shigetsuden

Japan, 410-2416 Shuzenji Shigetsuden, Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture

This sutra hall was donated to Shuzenji temple by his mother Masako to pray for the repose of Yoriie's soul after he was assassinated at Shuzenji Onsen, and is said to be the oldest wooden building in Izu. It is said that at this time, the Song Dynasty version of the Tripitaka Sutra and the embroidered Buddha of the Shakyamuni Triad were also donated, and the Kokei Bridge in front of the gate was also rebuilt. Inside the hall, there is a rare Zen-style seated statue of Jōroku Shakyamuni Nyorai. The Buddha statue is not supposed to carry anything, but it is distinctive in that he is holding a lotus flower in his right hand. In addition, there is Yoriie's grave on the left hand side when facing the hall.
