. Minamoto no Yoritomo 源頼朝 (1147 - 1199).

Once the samurai Minamoto no Yoritomo made an unofficial visit to Shinano (now Nagano), but he fell from his horse and lost his eyesight. He thought this must be a curse of the Gods. The someone told him this: He had passed the temple 大島山瑠璃寺 Ojimasan Ruri-Ji about one Ri to the West. This temple is dedicated to Yakushi Nyorai and people have to dismount from their horse when passing it. But he had not done that and to show his remorse and apology, he sent a branch of his cherry tree from Kamakura to the temple. And indeed, his eye was healed.
The weeping sakura cherry tree can be seen at the temple to our day.

薬師瑠璃光如来三尊佛 Yakushi Ruriko Sanzon



The statues date back to the Heian period and are made in the style of Joochoo 定朝様. They are made from hinoki 檜 Japanese cypress. Even after 900 years there are rays of golden color coming from the face, neck and breast.

平安後期の主流を成した定朝様(じょうちょうよう)の優美な造形と、平安前期頃の重厚で厳しい尊要とが見事に溶け合って、深い魅力をたたえています。檜の素地仕上げですが、900年の時を経て、顔・首筋・胸が金色の光を発しだしました。

瑠璃寺の本堂 Main Hall
This hall was built in 1672.
年現在の薬師堂が再建され、本尊の薬師三尊佛が収められました。現在薬師三尊佛は、瑠璃光殿に収蔵されているため、堂内には前立ち薬師如来と、四天王、十二神将が奉られています。
三間四方の小ぶりのお堂ですが、周囲の景観に溶け込み荘厳な雰囲気をかもしだしています。

- quote -
Ruriko-ji originated when the 16th century samurai Ouchi Yoshihiro built Koshaku-ji as the temple for holding memorial services for members of his family.



In 1442, a five-storied pagoda, a type of architecture that has existed in Japan since ancient times, was built by Morimi, Yoshihiros younger brother, in memory of Yoshihiro. Mori Terumoto, who ruled this region after the decline of the Ouchi family, brought Koshaku-ji with him when he moved to a different place, leaving behind only the five-storied pagoda.
In 1690, a temple named Ruriko-ji, which was located somewhere else, was moved to the location of the five-storied pagoda. This temple has been here ever since.The five-storied pagoda stands approximately 31 m high. Its wide, overhanging roof is distinguished for its gentle slope. One of the oldest five-storied pagodas in Japan, it is designated as a National Treasure. This pagoda is considered one of the most excellent buildings of the 15th and 16th centuries.'
