DescriptionDaikozenji, a special head temple of the Tendai school, preserves wooden standing images of Tamonten and Komokuten. Regarded as guardians of the temple's principal Eleven-faced Kannon, both wear helmets and armor and stand on rocky bases. They are thought to date from the late Heian period. Tamonten measures approximately 145 cm and Komokuten approximately 149 cm in height. Both are nationally designated Important Cultural Properties, and special viewing is scheduled during the autumn foliage festival in 2026.
