    Yata-dera (矢田寺).
    In 820 Mankei (満慶) was asked to administer the Bodhisattva Precepts to Enma, the King of Hell (閻魔大王). On a tour of the underworld he met Jizō who told him to take soil back home and create a Jizō statue to ease the suffering of those in hell.

    The Hasedera Temple in Kamakura is famous for the adorable-looking Ryoen Jizo. You can spot these three smiling Jizo statues at three different spots and it is said that if you can find all of them, you will have a good relationship.

  9. > It is with this holistic notion of the relationship between humans, soul, other living things as well as inanimate nature in the life-world that Ogata and sixteen other Minamata disease sufferers established the 'Association of the Original Vow' (Hongan no Kai 本願の会) in 1995.
