Sangakuin Pagoda

Sangakuin Pagoda - Sangakuin Temple in Warabi boasts a 21 meter high statue of Kobo Daishi which is fitting as it is a member of the Shingon Buddhism sect of which Kobo Daishi was its founder. Sangakuin is a part of Chisakuin Temple in Kyoto, Little is known about the origins of the temple although its founding was helped by a commission from Tokugawa Ieyasu, from the year 1591. Within its grounds are several treasures including an ancient cedar tree, a wooden Nyorai statue, a giant wisteria tree. Its most famous structure is the Three Tier Pagoda, each one of the three tiers represents, respectively, the three schools of thought at the temple.
