Five-storied Pagoda Gojunoto, Toyokuni Shrine Senjokaku, Miyajima, Hiroshima, Japan Royalty-Free Stock Photography

The Five-storied Pagoda was originally constructed in 1407, and it was restored in 1533. The main deity enshrined here is the Buddha of Medicine, accompanied by the Buddhist saints Fugen and Monju. The Buddhist images symbolizing the deity and the saints were removed in the early Meiji era.　Now these are enshrined in the Daiganji Temple. The pagoda as a whole was constructed in Japanese style as evidenced by the ornamental caps of the railing posts as well as in the placement of the rafters. However, Chinese influence can also be seen in such parts as the top of the wooden pillars supporting the eaves, as well as in the tails of the rafters.
