😇THE 1200 STONE DISCIPLES😇

At the foot of Mt Atago (愛宕山) is the small temple of Otagi Nenbutsu-ji (愛宕念仏寺).

Although it has a history stretching back over 1000 years, the temple might have faded away to nothing were it not for the creation of 1200 statues.

This reminds me of Vancouver's A-maze-ing Laughter installation

@sgnj151 Some of these statues do look very similar!
