Very nice Boingo :keeta:
Slowhatch, you once gave me a link to the statue dude but I can't find it. Can you link us again please?
Slowhatch:
brb...
OK, the statue dude is Rennyo; his statue is in the courtyard (between the street and the main temple) of the Kitamido (no English pages) in Osaka. I've looked through temple pics for any sign of a drum, but no luck.
To make things muddy I've found a nearly identical statue here (source page). I can't read Japanese, so I have no idea about the location.
OK, just cleaning up the data. Windows live translator has some new languages--japanese, arabic, korean, etc.--so I've tracked the alternate location I mentioned to the Yoshizaki Gobo temple in Fukui prefecture. Seems Rennyo hightailed it out of town when the locals showed up with torches and pitchforks. So that can be discounted, and Kitamido is probably where Don/Nick were walking. Why? I don't know; it seems like an unremarkable place. Still haven't found the drum anywhere inside.
