  • Myohoji Rotating Buddha - Myohoji is a Buddhist Temple of the Nichiren sect, most famous for its unique rotating Buddha.  This bronze Buddha is surprisingly not famouso even though it presides over a pet cemetary and rotatates twice per day,  around 9 am and again at 5 pm.  During the mornings the Buddha faces south, protecting the temple, the graves and the area.  Late afternoon after its rotation, it faces busy Setagaya-Dori Road protecting people from traffic and kids coming home from school. Rather than a 360 degree rotation, rather Myohoji Buddha is more accurately a pivot, as it only turns into two directions.

  • Ishidoro at Gotoh Museum Garden - Ishidoro lanterns are usually used to decorate Japanese gardens, shrines and temples rather than for providing light, although occasionally they are lit up with candles inside during festivals.   Ishidoro Lanterns were introduced to Japan via China in the 6th century.  The earliest lanterns, found only in temple grounds, were designed to hold the flame representing Buddha.  Light  helps us overcome the darkness of ignorance. Ishidoro were originally used at temples, gardens and shrines.  Around the 16th century stone lanterns were adopted and placed in the gardens of teahouses.
