Sendai Daikannon


Besides trying to meet up with friends and visiting tuning shops, I wanted to see Daikannon.

It is a huge statue that you can go up 12 floors. Spiral stairs align inside, and in the middle on each floor is a circular display of 108 Buddhist statues.

Each is suppose to represent a behavior of humans. Greed, happiness, anger… there is a statue that represents it.

I was gonna take pictures of every single one, but my cellphone ran out of memory and it was shutting down on me.

 

 

It is breath taking to see in person. No train comes close to it, so you have to get to a station and either find the tourist buses (which I didn’t) or take a taxi, which I did.
