The Zenkoj has many images, but especially a metal ose of Bud- dha, which is alleged to date from 975 AD, though the additional in- formation that it drifted ashore on the neighbouring coast is apt to cast the doubt on the reliability of the tradi- tion. One of the more interesting statues is that of Binzuru, the god of healing, whose more important! physical parts are practically all rubbed away by patients seeking his healing power. The Japanese de voter is not so considerate as those who frequent St. Peter's at Rome, where the patronal Apostle has lost only great toe through rubbing: for Binzura is sadly disfigured, being minus eyes and other necessities of deity.
During the intense heat of Tokyo summer I sought relief for a short period in the mountains not far from one of Japan's most noted temples, the Zenkoji, where thousands gather from year to year seeking cure or amélioration of bodily ills, writes the Tokyo correspondent of the Morning Post. The ancient edifice is situated in a city of some 50,000 souls, overlooking a vast plain slop ing gently from the highlands and is Sanked by verdant hills. The town of Nagano has very good inns for the accommodation of devotees.
