DescriptionThe Wooden Seated Joroku Amida Nyorai is enshrined in a repository at Chojuji Temple. The seated figure measures 285.5 cm high and is an imposing gilded image made of joined hinoki cypress. It is designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan and attributed to a sculptor in the Jocho tradition. Its rounded face, narrow downcast eyes, and restrained robe folds give the monumental figure a calm, meditative presence. The repository can be visited during regular temple hours, and individual visitors do not need reservations.
