Jodoin Temple is one of the sub-temples of Byodoin Temple. It was commissioned to be built in the late 15th century by a Jodo sect Buddhist monk, Eiku, who made a large contribution for restoring Byodoin Temple. In September, 2014, the restoration of Rakan-do Hall began in commemoration of the 500th memorial anniversary of Eiku. Rakan-do Hall was established in 1640 by the tea merchant, Dosai Hoshino and his sons. During the recent restoration work, special care to prevent the deterioration of the hall’s interior as well as restoring some of the color was undertaken. A number of Buddhist statues were also restored. This special exhibition features statues of Shaka Nyorai and Rakan (Arhat), and exhibits excellent colored works from the hall’s interior.
