石像：Stone Statues at Daisho-in

At most Buddhist temples in Japan you can find stone statues. But my favourite place to see them is Daisho-in on the sacred island of Miyajima.

There are such a variety of statues there, but for me the 500 Rakan statues are the most interesting. Each of these little statues has a unique face and facial expression. In the colder months they were little hats.

But there are countless other stone statues to see there. There are also hundreds of small identical brass statues in rows. To see a picture of those follow the link to my Miyajima post.
