DescriptionMatsunoodera’s Main Hall enshrines Bato Kannon Bosatsu, said to be the only principal image of this form among the Saigoku Thirty-Three Kannon temples. Unusual among Kannon images for its wrathful expression, Bato Kannon has long been revered as a powerful deity who cuts through delusion and worldly passions. The atmosphere of this pilgrimage temple on the slopes of Mt. Aobayama and devotion to its secret principal image reveal a forceful dimension of Kannon faith beyond gentleness alone.
