In Buddhism, there are many statues and paintings that represent a set number of Buddhas, such as the Amida Triad and Acala and the Two Children. In addition, the faith in Mount Koya is related to a very large number, that is, the number that Kobo Daishi Kukai entered the Okunoin mausoleum and saved all living beings until the rebirth of Maitreya Bodhisattva 5,670,000,000 years from now. Therefore, this time we will exhibit and introduce the cultural properties of Mount Koya related to numbers.
