A complex of temples and gardens at the port of Setoda, on the island of Ikuchijima, along the Shimanami Kaidō. The founder, Kanemoto Kōzō, a welder and businessman who became a monk, began building it in 1935 after his mother's death, reproducing historic buildings over thirty years; the work was completed in 1965. The ‘Miraishin no Oka’ garden was created over twelve years, from 1988 to 2000, by the sculptor Kuetani Itto, born in the same prefecture and with a studio in Carrara.
