大日寺石仏群

There are two Dainichi temples in Kasai city, and there is a Doyama tumulus in Dainichi temple in Kubota town, where there is a variant Buddha statue of a hidden Christian disguised as a religion. When searching for places, use the name of a temple instead of the name of a historic site, so be careful as the destination may be different. The stone Buddhas on the temple grounds and on the side of the main hall are explained locally, but the ones that are particularly eye-catching are the deformed stone Buddhas, which appear when students study history, even if the Edo Shogunate declared a ban You can see the reality of "hidden religion that does not succumb to repression." For Dainichi Nyorai and Amida Nyorai for Mary, you can either study in a textbook or go to a museum, but here you can see the real thing. It is a pity that the face has been destroyed by weathering, but it seems that the feelings of the believers at that time were conveyed. The back crucifixion seems to be a form of thought beyond the provisional commission, but could not be found if it was here from that time? Or did the official miss it? It is fun to imagine that. Although the evaluation of this place is high evaluation, when visiting by car etc., there is no temple-related parking lot in the surroundings (as far as it was examined by an individual), so you need to consider a place where you can park. With that in mind, we made the current evaluation.

It is speculated that this Jizo statue entrusted the Christian faith around 1725. Since this discovery, many Jizo statues entrusted with Christian beliefs have been found in Harima. Christian lanterns can be found in various places as well-known hidden Christian relics, but the Jizo statue, also known as the Christian Jizo, is a valuable resource.
