Statues of Enma, Juo and Dandato

Stone statues of Enma （Yama; king of afterlife） and Juo （ten rulers of the afterlife）, who, in Buddhism, bring the dead to justice according to his/her good and bad deeds. The Enma statue is 110cm in total height, whereas the Juo statures are 72cm tall. 5 out of 10 Juo statues are grafted of other statues' heads. The Dandato features two heads of a gentle-faced woman and an angry-faced man carved out from a stone. Its total height is 95cm. It is made for the Enma to judge if the deed is good or bad. It is said that if the deed is good, the gentle face exhales good smell, and if bad, the angry face spit fire from its mouth. Both statues were built in 1690 and stand at the side of the belfry.
