Konnyaku Emma

Konnyaku is jelly-like food made from the starch of devil's tongue (Konnyaku flour).
Emma is the king of hell who judges sins of dead people in Buddhism.

Genkakuji Temple is called Konnyaku Emma.
This temple was established in 1624.

There's an Emma statue here and his right eye is dark yellow.

Here's the story.

An old woman in 18th century had problems with her eyes.
She prayed for recovery every day at this temple.
One night, Emma showed up in her dream and told her that he'd give her one of his eyes.
Then her eye recovered but Emma's right eye turned to dark yellow.

She showed her appreciation by dedicating her favorite Konnyaku to Emma instead of eating it.

Also, this temple has unique Shio Jizo which is covered by salt.
