The Healing Buddha, Yakushi Nyorai, was especially popular during the early Heian period, and many images were executed for worship halls and private residences in the ninth and tenth centuries.

 Buddhist Treasures from Nara
Currently within the spectrum of Japanese sculptural history there exist two images closely related to this seated Yakushi, the most important of which is a seated Amida Nyorai with flanking figures of similar dimensions and date in the Shitenno-ji in Osaka.
The provenance of the Nara National Museum Yakushi Nyorai includes the important and intriguing information that at least in the late nineteenth century it was the principal devotional image at the Nyakuo-ji Shinto shrine in the Higashiyama hills of eastern Kyoto.
Whether this Yakushi image was made in the ninth century for the Nyakuo-ji Shrine ormore likelywas moved to the site at a later, unknown date has resisted investigations in this century.

 Shinbutsudo: A Web Page for the Study of Japanese Religions
Yakushi Nyorai is considered to be the Buddha of Healing.
There are two theories concerning the relocation of the temple; the first being that the buildings and images of the Buddha were transferred to Nara, and the second, that only the name of the temple was transferred to newly constructed temple buildings.
Historians prefer the latter theory to the former and thus they claim that the East Pagoda and the Yakushi Triad were from the early Tempyo period.

 FOOTNOTES- RISSHO ANKOKU RON GOSHO
It is said that the image of Yakushi was enshrined as well as that of Shakyamuni because Yakushi Buddha, having vowed to "heal all ills" (see footnote 2), represents the parable of the excellent physician in the Juryo (16th) chapter of the Lotus Sutra.
Based on the Buddha's parable of the excellent physician in the Juryo (16th) chapter, T'ien-t'ai and Dengyo used Yakushi Buddha (the Buddha of Healing), lord of the Emerald World in the eastern part of the universe, as an object of worship for their sect.
In this sense, to neglect the Buddha Yakushi and revere the Buddha Amida is to ignore the Lord Buddha's transmission.

 AIADA - American International Automobile Dealers Association: AIADA News
Yakushi said that while it’s important to remember that "seat belts are the primary restraint system" that protects people in a crash, they were designed for average sized adults, not children.
A similar danger exists with the shoulder portion of the belt, which on a shorter child is riding up against their neck and can also lead to serious injury.
Yakushi added that the child needs to be able to sit like that for the entire trip, and gave a bit of commonsense advice for parents -- by graduating the child directly into a booster seat, riding in it becomes the norm
