DescriptionHasedera’s Main Hall enshrines a monumental standing Eleven-Faced Kannon Bosatsu. Holding a staff, the image is known as a Hase-style Kannon, combining Kannon’s compassion with a Jizo-like power to step toward people in need. Encountered after climbing the long covered stairway, the great Kannon conveys not only the brightness of a temple famous for flowers but also the depth of centuries of Kannon devotion. Its immense scale is overwhelming, yet leaves an unexpected sense of peace.
