It is said that these Living Buddhas can answer your prayers. Here there are two Living Buddhas: Chukai (忠海上人)who became an ikibotoke in 1785 and Enmyokai (円明海上人) who became an ikibotoke in 1822. Lastly, drive one hour to Kaikouji (海向寺).The sokushinbutsu at this temple passed away in 1829. Hop back in your car and drive 8-minutes to Yudonosan Churenji (湯殿山注連寺).Next take a 20-minute jaunt to 龍水寺大日坊・湯殿山総本寺 (Yudonosansouhonji).A 30-minute drive from there will take you to Honmyoji (本明寺) where you can see the Living Buddha, Honmyouji Shonin.Here you can find TetsuRyouKai, who became a sokushinbutsu in 1881. Start at Nangakuji (南岳寺), a nine-minute car ride from Tsuruoka Station (Yamagata Prefecture).If you’re interested in ikibotoke/sokushinbutsu or self mummification, I found a page in Japanese about a route you can travel to see all the Living Buddhas in their respective temples up in Northern Honshu, in Yamagata Prefecture. The sounds you hear are the people milling around wishing each other a Happy New Year and the temple bell being rung 108 times (to ring out our humanely sins). *cue scary music*… no, seriously, cue the scary music, things are going to get weird.Īlso, because I didn’t mention it in the podcast the background of this month’s Uncanny Japan was recorded at a local temple on New Year’s Eve at midnight. The thing is, they’re not really alive, at least not anymore. Listen to me talk about this wonderfully surreal thing I found: Living Buddhas ( ikibotoke, 生き仏 or sokushinbutsu, 即身仏).
