Suddenly, I remembered the sculpture of a grotesque in a surprising place in Tsukiji Honganji.
Although no such sculptures were found at Nishi Honganji Temple, there are trees called "buried trees" in the porch and corridors of Amida Buddha Hall and Mieido, which are national treasures, to fill the knots and cracks.
