Description

The cultural property repository at Ko-onji Temple houses a group of Heian-period Buddhist statues inherited from its predecessor, Kannonji Temple. The collection includes the wooden seated Amida Nyorai, as well as images of Shaka Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, Miroku Bosatsu, Sho Kannon, Eleven-Faced Kannon, Jizo Bosatsu, and Buddhist deities, many of which are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan. Kannonji is traditionally said to have been founded by Gyoki in 726, and its Kannon Hall and Buddhist statues were preserved despite warfare and the later abolition of the temple. The repository is normally closed, but the statues can be viewed together during special openings in spring and autumn. In autumn 2026 they are scheduled to be unveiled on November 22–23 as part of the 1300th anniversary festival.
