==Two revered images== The temple derives its name from the fact that there are two main images here—one statue of the founding Buddha and another statue of one who has reached enlightenment; or in short, Nison refers to these "two revered images". Both of these Heian period Buddhist statues are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan.
