The Byōdōin at Uji near Kyoto was originally a villa of Fujiwara no Michinaga (966-1024) and was turned into a temple in 1052 by his son Yorimichi. The layout of the temple is similar to to more elaborate villas of the Heian aristocracy: a central hall (facing south) with three wings (to the north, east and west) connected by covered corridors. At the Byōdōin the main hall is called the Phoenix Hall (Hōōdō) because its roof lines are said to resembles a bird's wings. Inside are images of Amida, coming to save supplicants, accompanied by boddhsattvas, adorned with halos and riding clouds. The entire temple is supposed to suggest the beauty and peace of Amida "Pure Land"

Below is a rather ugly, modern raigō : an image of Amida coming to saving a supplicant. Such images were popular among Heain courtiers. Fujiwara Michanga reportedly died holding a string attached to the image of Amida in a raigō

Here is a more elegant raigō from the 13th century
