Kunisaki, Japan -Kumano Magaibutsu -


-Fudoh Myouou- Kumano-Magaibutu Kunisaki, Oita, Japan. Hundreds and hundreds years ago, an unknown person made Fudo-Myouou (Acala in Sanskrit) on a natural rock as a statue. Magai-Butsu means Buddhism statue on natural rocks. One of the most popular Buddhism guardian deity in Japan. To get to this one, you have to climb up alot of steps that old men say were made by demons. You can find many more Magai-Butsu in Kunisaki. This is a big one.
