DescriptionEryuji’s Tachiki Kannon Hall enshrines an Eleven-Faced Thousand-Armed Kannon Bosatsu as its principal image. The enormous statue is traditionally said to have been carved directly into a living tree with its roots still in the ground and is affectionately known as Tachiki Kannon. As one of the Aizu Korori Three Kannon, it has received prayers for relief from suffering and anxiety and symbolizes the region’s Kannon devotion. Its great scale is overwhelming, yet it also conveys the gentleness characteristic of Kannon.
