DescriptionThe Hojo of Kenninji, regarded as Kyoto’s oldest Zen temple, enshrines Eleven-Faced Kannon Bosatsu as its principal image. In the refined space of a Zen temple, the image conveys a quiet nobility. Together with the dry landscape gardens and sliding-door paintings, this is a distinctly Kyoto setting where prayer and aesthetic sensibility merge into a single Zen atmosphere.
