Statue of Monk Shinran standing silently in the woods at the back of the Main Hall

Although the Sanmon (outer gate) of this temple is fashioned after the gate of Shishinden Hall at Kyoto Imperial Palace, most of it is made of steel and coated with red paint.

The five-storied pagoda stands in the center of the temple grounds. The main hall and the pagoda stand on a straight line, which resembles the layout of the buildings at Shitenno-ji Temple in Osaka

A golden decoration hanging from the ceiling of Koyomon Gate. The glitter makes the gate look more gorgeous

The relief carvings painted in gold and silver on the pillars and the colors painted in the complicated structures are extraordinarily gorgeous. This might be the most gorgeous architecture in Japan

'Rakando', a registered tangible cultural asset of Japan, is a twin wing corridor flanking Chu-mon gate in the center

Notice the difference of carvings and coloring between Nikko Toshogu Shrine and this gate, which is more brilliant in color and far more delicate

When you pass through Koyomon Gate, you'll be surprised by its gorgeous ceilings

It took ten years to construct Koyomon Gate after they had acquired the construction map of the model gate (Yomeimon Gate at Nikko Toshogu Shrine), which had been kept at the Ministry of Education

A poem is carved on this stone, and (in my interpretation) probably means, 'Filial piety is valuable. The temple I built for my late-mother was completed when chrysanthemums were fragrant and blooming'

金本氏（後に耕三寺姓に改姓）は昭和十二年から堂塔の建造に着手し、生涯の半数近くを費やして、この耕三寺を建設した。驚くべきは金本氏個人の財力で建立した事だ。　Vol.1に引続き２０１３年５月参拝当時を振り返ることにする。

　そしてその耕三寺、観音山の中腹１１２００坪に及ぶ境内には、三十余棟の堂塔が建ち、孝養門は日光陽明門、本堂は平等院鳳凰堂と云う様に、我が国、各時代の代表的な寺院建築を、復元・模したと云うのは前編で述べたが、その多彩なことは実に驚くべきものである。本篇は、各伽藍の細部に近づき、クローズアップしたつもりである。先ず、ご覧頂きたい。
