Today we visited the Byodo-in Temple. Included in the temple is the Phoenix Hall, named because its exterior looks like a bird's outstretched wings, not to mention the two phoenixes perched on its roof. The statue inside, Amitabha, Buddha of infinite light, was made by Jocho, a man revered as the greatest Buddhist carver in the Heian Era.
