Nenbutsushu Sampozan Muryojuji Temple

  A pair of Grand Bells, weighing over 50 tons each, the largest of its kind in the world, signifying the principle of yin and yang, was cast by Mr. Jiemon Oigo XII using the traditional techniques and special knowledge handed down generation after generation in Takaoka region that has been famous for casting since Edo period (1603-1867). The bells are topped with the cannons, one made in the shape of a dragon and the other a phoenix. The design of these bells is the first of its kind in the world, representing the unique Nenbutsushu style.
  The resonant sound of the unprecedented gigantic bells will rouse the souls of all sentient beings and reverberate out in all directions so as to extinguish their earthly desires.
