Akishino-dera

[1][2] The five by four bay National Treasure Hondō, with a raised platform, earthen floor, tiled hipped roof, and slightly narrower intercolumniation at each end, epitomises the Wayō style.

Built on the site of the former lecture hall, it is a Kamakura-period rebuild in somewhat archaizing style.

Inside, a raised altar platform is backed by an internal wall that spans three bays.

[3][4][5] Statues designated Important Cultural Properties include a Yakushi Triad, Gigeiten (伎芸天) (traditional identification), Taishakuten, and Jizō Bosatsu, in the Hondō; Daigensui Myōō (大元帥明王) in the Daigendō; Bonten, Kudatsu Bosatsu (traditional identification), and hollow dry-lacquer fragments, kept at Nara National Museum; Jizō Bosatsu, kept at Kyoto National Museum; and Jūichimen Kannon, kept at Tokyo National Museum.

[6] Other treasures include a set of five standing Godariki Bosatsu (五大力菩薩);[7] a waniguchi (鰐口) dating to Shōan 3 (1301) that has been designated a Prefectural Cultural Property; and a painting of Daigensui Myōō dating from the Nanboku-chō period and seven Muromachi-period fragments of ema with images of horses, designated Municipal Cultural Properties.
