The Shakado Hall of Kiyomizu-dera Temple is known as a hall dedicated to the three images of Shakyamuni. It was rebuilt in 1631 and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. When the hall was first reconstructed, it had a pantiled roof, but this was replaced by a hinoki bark roof during a major renovation in the Heisei era. Inside, a statue of Shakyamuni Nyorai is enshrined in the center, flanked by statues of Fugen Bosatsu (Fugen Bodhisattva) and Monju Bosatsu (Monju Bodhisattva). These Buddhist statues are said to have been made in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, but they also retain strong Heian period characteristics. In 1972, a torrential downpour caused the cliff behind the shrine to collapse, and the Shakado Hall was caught in the mud and sand and collapsed. In this reconstruction, the thatched roof was replaced with the original thatched roof, and later renovations resulted in a hinoki bark thatched roof. The ceiling of the hall is decorated with “Yuuhi Tennyo-ga” paintings of celestial maidens flying around, creating a solemn atmosphere. Next to the Shakado Hall is a Jizoson, popularly known as “West-facing Jizoson. This Jizoson was also destroyed by a landslide in 1972, but was rebuilt in 1975.
