Mt. Mitoku Sanbutsu ji Temple

Mt. Mitoku Sanbutsu ji Temple
Misasa-cho, Touhaku District, Japan

The first line drawing of buddhas on a rock face discovered in Tottori Prefecture in 2009.
Over a width of 32m, there are 8 images on the vertical rock face, including Fudou Myo’ou (Acala-vidyaraja) and Dainichi Nyorai.
Because these carvings are in a dangerous part of the steep ravines of Mt. Mitoku, its location is not made clear.
As the whole scale of Mt. Mitoku's Shugendo relics is yet to be discovered, excavations are still being carried out today.
