Description

The Peace Memorial Museum in Oshamambe displays a seated Kannon Bosatsu carved by Enku. Designated a Tangible Cultural Property of Oshamambe Town, the 47.0 cm-high image is carved from a single piece of wood and dates to the Kanbun era (1661–1672). The town describes it as a representative work by Enku and notes that it has been loaned to exhibitions including an Enku exhibition at the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art. It is shown alongside artworks devoted to peace. Hokkaido’s current museum network lists opening hours of 10:00–16:00 and free admission, making this an accessible place to see an original Enku Buddhist image in southern Hokkaido.
