The Hozenji temple is a relatively new religious building founded by a monk in 1637. Most of the buildings were lost in the Second World War and now only two buildings remain. This quiet, tranquil area is situated in the busy downtown area of Osaka. Visit the temple to see the Fudo Myoo, a deity taking the form of fury and who is said to protect people against evil, conquer all demons and grant all wishes. People used to splash water as an offering to the deity and pray for their prosperity. Because of the large amount of water splashed onto it, the statue has grown a large amount of moss.

At this temple, people splash Mizukake Fudo-son Buddhist Statue, with water instead of placing offerings. The origin of this practice is said to be that worshippers who did not bring offerings splashed the statue with water. Due to the large amount of water that worshippers have splashed on the statue over the years, lots of moss has grown there giving the statue a beautiful green appearance.
