Hibutsu 秘仏 secret statues

Secret Buddha Statues are enshrined in special tabernacles called zushi 厨子 and are shown at regular intervals to the public. Some are shown every year, others every seven, seventeen, thirtythree or hundred years only. Some are never shown.
This can be a replica of the original hidden statue or a different one altogether.

Usually a substitute statue ("stand before it" maedachi 前立) is placed in front of this tabernacle and can be venerated in prayers at any time.

The original temple was lost in a fire during the period of the warring states 戦国時代 (ca. 1467 - 1573). It was rebuilt in the Edo period. The Main Hall was relocated from the Imperial Palace 清涼殿 on the wish of emperor Gomizuno Tenno 後水尾天皇 (1596 - 1680)
