Description

Jokaku-ji Temple in Shintera, Wakabayashi Ward, Sendai, preserves a wooden Sho Kannon Bosatsu statue dating to the Heian period. Carved from hinoki cypress and standing 165 cm high, the image has a thick neck, taut body, large ears, and flowing drapery. A distinctive feature is the celestial scarf wrapped partly around the wrist, an unusual treatment with few parallels. It is designated a Tangible Cultural Property of Miyagi Prefecture. Jokaku-ji is also the 16th temple of the Sendai Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage, carrying forward Kannon devotion in Shintera, the temple district formed in the castle town of Sendai.
