Daichiin Temple (Glasses Kobo)

Long ago, a blind worshipper prayed to Shindai Daishi and his eyes were healed, but Daishi's eyes were damaged in return. Since then, the glasses left by the worshipper have been placed on the statue, and it is said that the statue came to be called "Megane Kobo." The glasses are said to have become increasingly black as they are smoked in the goma fire, eventually resulting in the striking, pitch-black appearance we see today.
