[A city-wide customized experience museum] Zentsuji City, Kagawa Prefecture, is the birthplace of Kobo Daishi Kukai, a great figure in the world of Japanese Buddhism known to all Japanese people. Born 1,250 years ago, Kukai trained and attained enlightenment in the magnificent nature of his hometown, Shikoku. Even now, more than 1,200 years after his active days, many worshippers who admire Kukai visit from all over the world to follow the pilgrimage route he left behind. At the five temples associated with Kukai in Zentsuji City, we offer experience content that allows you to face yourself and hone your five senses with the themes of Mandala Temple - touch, Deshakka Temple - sight, Kozan Temple - hearing, Zentsuji - taste, and Kanakura Temple - smell.

About Deshakkaji Temple Deshakkaji Temple is located on a hill at the foot of the mountain, and offers beautiful views of the city and the Seto Inland Sea. Behind the temple grounds stands Mt. Sutemi-ga-take, and about 40 minutes up the mountain leads to the inner sanctuary where Kukai, when he was 7 years old, threw himself off a cliff, saying, "I want to save many people with the power of Buddhism. If that wish can be granted, please appear to me, Buddha." Then Shaka Nyorai appeared with a celestial maiden, and his wish was granted. "There is a legend that says, "The temple is a place where wishes come true." Inspired by this legend, many worshippers visit the temple as a place where wishes come true. The beauty of the kana characters, which can be seen with the eyes and felt with the heart, and the magnificent views of the Seto Inland Sea Some people visit the temple in search of the seasonal goshuin stamps, which are handwritten one by one by the head priest, who is also a monk and calligrapher. Goshuin stamps are basically given as proof of worship, but the goshuin stamps of the head priest, who writes seasonal songs in graceful "kana characters" on paper with seasonal motifs, have the beauty of a work of art. At Deshikaji Temple, we have prepared an experience program where you can learn calligraphy in "kana characters" from the head priest. "Kana characters" are characters unique to Japan that are based on Chinese characters, and when used in calligraphy, the smooth, flowing brush strokes and soft curves give a sense of elegance. The calligraphy experience will be held in the reception hall, which is not open to the public. You will practice while looking at the model, and the head priest will carefully advise you on how to write beautifully. After deepening your understanding of kana characters through practice, you will write a poem on washi paper. Finally, you will sign in Japanese and press a name stamp to complete the experience. You can take your custom-made name stamp home as a memento. Enjoy a moment of calligraphy while soothing yourself with the beautiful scenery overlooking the calm Seto Inland Sea.

The symbol of the temple is the large Kasamatsu tree "Furomatsu", which is said to have been hand-planted by Kukai.

About Koyamaji Temple Koyamaji Temple was built in a place where Kukai used the reward money he received from the Imperial Court in recognition of his achievements to build a temple in the place where he used to play in his childhood. The principal image is Yakushi Nyorai, a Buddha who saves people from the suffering of this world, such as illness. On either side of him, he carries Nikko Bosatsu and Gekko Bosatsu, who illuminate people with the light of sunlight and moonlight, and support Yakushi Nyorai's power so that it never fades. The moon ring held by Gekko Bosatsu has a rabbit drawn on it, and the temple is loved by people as a temple related to rabbits. Within the temple grounds, statues of 16 rabbits jumping out of the moon ring watch over the worshippers. 〇 Listen quietly to the sounds of nature and the voice of the chief priest, and listen to the voice of your heart - At Kozanji Temple, you can experience "Gachirinkan," a meditation method of the Shingon sect founded by Kukai.

Starting from a small full moon that fits in your chest, gradually enlarge it and expand it to the world and the universe, and you will approach a broad and calm mind like a Buddha. Listening to the sounds of the wind, the voices of insects, and the voice of the chief priest guiding you while also listening to the voice of your own heart, you will feel a refreshing sensation as if you are freed from the distractions of daily life. The sliding screen calligraphy that can also be viewed was created by calligrapher Kohei Okamoto, who is also a Kukai researcher. The 36 sliding screens that separate the five rooms are inscribed with the Heart Sutra, a Buddhist text, in a style of calligraphy called Hihakutai, which Kukai is said to have brought back from Tang Dynasty China. The flowing characters express rain, mountains, dragons, and more, making this work of calligraphy that also has the beauty of a painting. * After viewing the sliding door calligraphy, you will be asked to participate in a meditation experience. The meditation experience lasts for 20 to 30 minutes.
