Shin TV Kenbutsuki 33 Naniwa Shitennoji Hen

[Machine Translation] An unprecedented Buddhist statue boom is underway! In this new TV series, Jun Miura and Seiko Ito, who are known for their love of Buddhist statues and who call each other "buddhist friends," walk around and see Buddhist statues in various places. The unique sense of ennui and exquisite talk backed by their deep love and knowledge of Buddhist statues throughout the entire program are a must-see. The content is authentic and will delight fans of Buddhist statues. The "Exploring Sweets" corner, which has become a regular feature of the show, will also be included! Enjoy it! --The trip begins in front of the Glico sign, which is no exaggeration to say "Osaka's No.1 tourist spot"! The two good friends stroll around Dotonbori. At Myokoin Temple, we are suddenly greeted by a rare statue of Bishamonten (the Bishamon of the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy)! The temple is located in a residential area and has a cozy atmosphere. It houses a standing statue of the eleven-faced Kannon, said to be one of the oldest statues in Osaka City. At Aizendo Katsukan-in, you will meet the secret statue of Aizen Myoo, the Goddess of Mercy. Miura and Ito were impressed by the large and dignified Aizen Myoo. The double helmets allowed us to climb up to the roof of the pagoda, which was under construction, and the tension of the trip to see the Buddhas reached maximum! At Shitennoji Temple, we were astonished by the magnificent layout of the temple. The temple is a time-slip into a different space where the Asuka and 2025 eras intersected. The huge standing statue of the eleven-faced Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and the mysterious statue of the Goddess of Mercy will be viewed with a sense of wonder. In the popular sweets tour, you will be excited to see many Daikoku-sama stored in a warehouse in the back of the temple, while tasting the famous Osaka souvenirs!
