Between 1922-25 the temple was moved from Higashiyama -where successive floods had done untold damage to its old buildings and treasures- to the foothills of Mt Atago.

In spite of this, typhoons in 1945 and 1950 tore through the temple and it came close to complete closure.

All of Otagi Nenbutsu-ji's statues are unique. Made leading up to the 1980s many have a distinctive of-the-time feel, such as this arhat holding a Walkman.

Playful stone statue holding up an oni mask (and sticking its tongue out).

Many of the temple's statues are covered in moss, which only adds to the atmosphere.

棟方志功羅漢羅怙羅尊者 Munakata Shikö (1903 - 1975) Arhat Rahula (Rakan Ragora). Japan, Showa period, 1939, woodblock print mounted as a hanging scroll, ink on paper. Munakata Shiko is regarded as one of the great individualist woodblock artists in 20th century, Japan.

Originally trained in oil painting, he created his prints on his own (i.e. without the help of block carvers and / or printers) as artistic graphics. However, the themes of his prints are often taken from tradition and refer to Buddhism or folk tales. He was close to the so-called Folk Craft Movement, and enjoyed an international career. He won awards for his prints at the São Paulo Biennial in 1955 and the Biennale di Venezia in 1956. The group of works decorated in São Paulo contained this print. Ragora, depicted here, is commonly regarded as the eleventh in a group of sixteen rakan and son of the historical Buddha. However, in Munakata's work he is one of a group of ten disciples of the Buddha, which is especially venerated in the tradition of Buddhism known as Zen.

An arhat in Haihui Temple in Wantan in New Taipei City.

As I understand it, arhats are disciples of Buddha who have achieved enlightenment but remain in the world to serve. Why are they portrayed in Buddhist art as so grotesque or caricatured?

Detail from a sculpture of an arhat. I think this was at Haihui Temple (海會寺) at Wantan in New Taipei City (灣潭).

He looks angry. Or in pain.
