Description

Koheiji Temple preserves a wooden standing Jizo Bodhisattva made around the late ninth century, in the early Heian period, and designated an Important Cultural Property by Kumamoto Prefecture. One of the oldest works kept in the Shimono Cultural Property Repository, it has the quiet presence of a wooden sculpture shaped by many centuries of history. The repository, maintained by a local preservation group, is normally open free of charge on weekends and holidays from 9:00 to 16:00. As this image was on loan to a special exhibition at the Kumamoto Prefectural Museum of Art until November 1, 2026, visitors should check whether it has been returned and redisplayed before visiting.
