DescriptionMuroji’s Main Hall, or Kanjodo, enshrines Nyoirin Kannon Bosatsu. While the Buddhist images of the Kondo convey the dense presence of a mountain temple, the Nyoirin Kannon in the Main Hall has a softness that seems to receive wishes quietly. Enshrined in a hall where the important esoteric Buddhist rite of kanjo has been performed, the serene figure also carries the deep weight of prayer. The stillness felt deeper within Muroji resonates with Kannon’s gentleness.
