Although Gochido (五智堂) is referred to as "do (堂)," a word used to mean a temple, shrine or hall, it is actually a very small, square-shaped building with all four sides of only 1 ken (approx. 1.8m) in length and has no fixtures and no walls, and it holds the images of Gochi Nyorai on the upper part of the central strut of the building. |
「堂」といっても方一間、全面吹き放し(建具、壁等を設けない)の小規模な建造物で、中央の支柱の上部に五智如来を祀る。 |
