Nobunaga put Mt. Hiei to the torch in 1571. Just about everything was destroyed as well as the people massacred at Enryakuji. That said, some things did escaped the wrath of Nobunaga. There is a recent discovery that nine Buddhist statues did survive Nobunaga's destruction. At first, it was believed that the statues were rebuilt during the Edo Era. Now, with new evidence, the statues were constructed during the Kamakura Era. Extremely rare find indeed.
