| Description | Near the Hirakawa Gate, on the lower outside stone wall, you can find this stone down near the waterline of the moat. It has the characters 南無阿弥陀仏 carved into it. It is basically a Buddhist invocation to ward off evil. This location in the castle corresponds to the "devil gate" direction (northeast, in Japanese Feng Shui) so it is meant to help protect the castle form evil. The stone wall also cuts in here at a right angle to prevent evil form easily entering. Look at the Google map above to see this. |
