The main temple of No.37 Iwamoto-ji is rather new. Inside, chairs are lined up to the principal image of this temple. It actually reminds me church.
When I was reciting sutra, elder couple were taking pictures while saying that there were a cute girl. After finishing worship, I looked up at the ceiling and saw a lot of paintings on the ceiling. In fact, there were a lot of pictures that didn’t seem to have anything to do with Buddhism. Indeed, it was quite beautiful with many different themes and colors.
Very interestingly, Iwamoto-ji is dedicated to 5 different principal images, i.e Fudo-Myoo (不動明王), Kanzeon-Bosatsu (観世音菩薩), Amida-Nyorai (阿弥陀如来), Yakushi-Nyorai (薬師如来), Jizo-Bosatsu (地蔵菩薩).
