The Sorin-to

An average religious monument.

As far as religious monuments / shrines go the Sorin-to is just a fairly average bronze pillar. If you visit the Rinnoji temple you will see this prominent Buddhist landmark.

Symbol of Tenda Buddhism

Sorin-to is a bronze tower protected by 2 lanterns, built by Amemiya Buddhist priest during Edo period. The 13 meter high tower contains 1,000 sutras on it. Nice to have a look at this symble.

there are only three valuable things in japan.

A tower behind the three Buddha Hall of Rinnoji Temple. Sorinto is a kind of pagoda called "Sorinto" and is a building like a tower without a roof of a three-storied pagoda or a five-storied pagoda. I only looked at it lightly as I passed by, but in fact, it seems that there were only three existing cases in Japan. I should have taken a closer look.

You can see it from the approach.

It is a tall ridge that rises in a unique shape, and can be seen from the approach to Toshogu. The sudden towering style was unique and reminiscent of the chimney of a public bath. I thought it was interesting.

The shape is unique.

A statue behind Rinnoji Temple? tower? is. There are no people inside the tower, so it may be obelisk in the West. It is quite rare that such objects are adopted in the world of Buddhism. I was looking at it because it was not completely symmetrical.
