Tucked inside the historic Daikyō-ji temple complex, this striking gallery reveals towering zelkova wood panels carved by master artisans over a twelve-year span. Encased behind protective glass walkways, the reliefs vividly illustrate ten scenes from the Lotus Sutra alongside auspicious motifs of turtles, cranes, and celestial maidens. Admission also grants access to Suikei-en, an exquisite Edo-style stroll garden centered around serene wooden cloisters and tranquil koi ponds. It is an extraordinary artistic and meditative refuge just steps from Shibamata's lively retro market street.
