| 1．Sekkei-ji ・Kōchi-ken |
| Sekkei-ji is a Shingon Buddhist Temple located in Kōchi, Kōchi, Japan. It is the 33rd temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. According to the temple records, Kukai founded the temple, and named it Shourinsan Koufukuji (少林山高福寺 lit. Small Grove Mountain, Great Luck Temple). The statues that flank the main Honzon on the left and right are thought to be created by the great sculptor Tankei in the year at the beginning of the Karoku era, 1225. However there are no records of Tankei having any relation to the Tosa domain. There is also an explanation that sometime during the Kamakura period, Unkei along with his eldest son Tankei had arrived at the temple and renamed it “Keiun-ji” (慶運寺). |

| 3．Tanema-ji ・Kōchi-ken |
| Tanema-ji is a Shingon Buddhist Temple located in Kōchi, Kōchi, Japan. It is the 34th temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage. According to the temple records, during the reign of Emperor Yomei (585-587), a Buddhist carpenter from Baekje who had come to build Shitenno-ji, was caught in a storm when leaving Japan, and drifted ashore to a port near the present day temple. As a part of a prayer for a safe voyage home, the carpenter carved an image of Bhaisajyaguru at the summit of the temple hill, which became the origin point of Tanema-ji. Years later during the Konin era (810-824), Kukai founded the temple using the Baekje carpenters carving as the Honzon, and spread the five grains he had brought from China across the temple grounds, deciding the present-day temple name Tanema-ji (種間寺 lit. “seed space temple”). |
