DescriptionThe seated wooden Eleven-faced Kannon in Chojuji's main hall dates to the late Heian period. Ojika Town designated it a Town Tangible Cultural Property on March 9, 2026. The seated figure measures 107.8 cm in height, with a pedestal 74.8 cm high and a halo measuring 151 cm. A detailed investigation by the town's cultural properties committee dated the sculpture to the late Heian period on the basis of its rounded facial features and bodily proportions. Originally the principal image of Chorakuji in Yanaigo, it was transferred to Chojuji in 1878 after that temple closed, together with statues of Fudo Myoo and Bishamonten. This substantial wooden image reflects Buddhist culture on Ojika, an important maritime crossroads, and is viewable in the main hall.
