Otagi-Nenbutsu-Ji | The Temple of 1,200 Statues in Kyoto, Japan

Otagi Nenbutsu-Ji is a Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. The temple, originally called Otagi-ji temple, was founded in the Otagi District. This Buddhist temple is a pack of many stone figures. The 1200 Rakan figures were carved by worshipers of this temple from 1981 to 1991 to pray for the prosperity of the temple. Different from usual Buddhist figures, these Rakans seem like having been sculpted with humor and fun.
