DescriptionAt the southern edge of Keiganji, a Jodo Buddhist temple, thirty-three Kannon Bodhisattva images are carved into a sandstone cliff. Arranged in order from the west, each is modeled in semi-relief within an aureole-shaped recess. The figures measure about 40 cm high and 25–30 cm wide. Beside them are carved pilgrimage numbers, such as 'Eighth of the Thirty-three Saigoku Sites.' An inscription on the cliff records a donation by the mother of Fukuda Gentayu in February 1770. The carvings are a Tangible Folk Cultural Property designated by Isahaya City and offer an accessible example of a stone-image pilgrimage tradition in the urban area.
