Tōtō
The Tōtō, or Eastern Pagoda, was originally built in 1127 by a priest from Daigo-ji’s Sambō-in Temple in Kyoto at the request of Retired Emperor Shirakawa (1053 -1129).
The main object of worship is an image of the Buddha Sonshōbutchō (Vikiraṇoṣṇīṣa) which was carved to the same physical proportions as Shirakawa. This Buddha is flanked by images of the Wisdom Kings Fudō and Gōzanze Myō’ō. Like many of the holy images enshrined in the halls and towers of the Garan, these statues are not open to the public. The current building is a reconstruction from the year 1984, rebuilt 140 years after the previous tower was destroyed in a large conflagration that destroyed almost all of the buildings of the Danjō-garan.
