  • St Francis Philosopher Statue at Tetsugakaudo Philosophy Park - At first, the Philosophy Park just appears to be a rather large and pleasant expanse of greenery and hills north of Nakano.  Local inhabitants use it to job, walk the dog, and have a picnic.  Look a little closer, however, and the place is quite unusual for any city park, anywhere on Earth.  The guy who developed the park thought he could bring concepts to life or at least show them through physical objects or statues.  Pass through the Tetsurimon, or the Gate of Philosophical Reason, and voila - you just might become enlightened in here!  Statues of Gandhi and others will remind you of a higher calling.  In fact, there are  77 spots that symbolize different philosophical doctrines. Notable features of the park are the Rokkendai or Pagoda of the Six Wise Ones which serves as the icon for the park.  Two trails that cross, The Junction of Doubt, which is a kind of “road not taken” syndrome.  And of course Rito the tanuki lamp.  Tanuki of course assume the form of humans to trick us, but they also have a divine nature.  Tetsugakudo Philosophy Park was founded by philosopher Enryo Inoue, who wanted to enshrine philosophical theory into physical form. Inoue founded the Tetsugakukan, or Philosophy Academy which is now Toyo University.  For him, philosophy was an essential discipline for the sake of spiritual aspects and scholarship so as to improve life.

  • Named after Manjushri, wisest of the Bodhisattva, Monju Senji Temple on the Kunisaki Peninsula in Kyushu thrived as the early hub of Buddhist culture in Japan. Countless stone statues, many carved into cliffs, still survive into the present day. This area contains more than 60% of Japan's Buddhist images carved on large rock outcrops, cliffs or in caves and movable statues carved from stone. Kyushu is credited as the source of Japanese civilization, from which the seeds of culture were planted throughout the islands. Archaeological findings suggest that Kyushu was the earliest inhabited area of Japan. Records show that first contact with mainland Asia and Buddhism originated in Kyushu.
