Description

At Akitoki Kannon Hall, the thirtieth station of the Sagara Thirty-three Kannon pilgrimage, stands a wooden Eleven-faced Kannon approximately 156.5 cm tall. Carved from a single piece of cypress, it has an ink inscription beneath the pedestal recording repairs in 1788. Traditionally it was the principal image of Shuhoji Temple, a temple associated with the former Nagasato Castle. Local people have cared for it across generations. After insect damage and an earlier plaster repair to the face, the statue underwent restoration in the 2005 fiscal year. It is a Tangible Cultural Property designated by Asagiri Town. Parking and toilets are provided, and visitors can see the historic image inside the hall on its spring and autumn opening days.
