DescriptionThe principal image of Fukuishi Kannon, counted among Kyushu's Seven Kannon sacred sites, is an Eleven-faced Kanzeon Bosatsu. According to temple tradition, Gyoki carved the statue in 710 and enshrined it in a cave. It is still worshipped in the inner sanctuary of the main hall, known as Gyoki-iwa. The image is normally concealed, but is unveiled during the annual Shimanrokusennichi Festival on August 8–10. Tradition holds that a visit on any one of those days brings the merit of 46,000 days of worship. Unveiling of the principal image was also announced for the 2026 festival.
