Description

The principal image of Kinchokokuji Temple is a wooden standing Eleven-Faced Kannon Bodhisattva dating to the late Heian period. About 660 cm tall, it is made of joined pieces of hinoki cypress. This Hase-style Eleven-Faced Kannon stands holding a vase with a lotus in the left hand and prayer beads and a staff in the right, making it one of Japan’s largest surviving Heian-period Buddhist statues. The face was repainted during restoration in the Edo period. Designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, it can be viewed from 10:00 to 15:00 every Sunday and on the 18th of each month.
