National Treasures of Fukushima
福 島 県 の 国 宝Fukushima’s national treasures — properties designated kokuhō for their exceptional value to the nation.
Nestled in Iwaki City, Fukushima, the Shiramizu Amidado is a late Heian-period Amida Hall built in 1160 by Tokuhime—daughter of Fujiwara no Kiyohira—to pray for her late husband's soul. It is the only National Treasure building in Fukushima Prefecture and one of only three surviving Heian-era structures in the entire Tōhoku region. Its graceful pyramidal tochibuki roof, three-bay-square plan, and surrounding Pure Land–style garden form an exquisite embodiment of Heian Buddhist culture.
At Ryukoji in Aizumisato, Fukushima, each character of the Lotus Sutra sits on a painted lotus, a late-Heian National Treasure surviving in nine of its ten scrolls.
