Description

The Important Cultural Property standing wooden Eleven-Faced Kannon is enshrined as the principal image of Chokyuji Temple's Main Hall. Dating to the late Heian period, the statue is 116.2 cm high. Carved from a single block of cypress and finished with polychrome and cut-gold decoration, it retains archaic features in its distinctive upturned eyes and deep-set body while maintaining an overall calm presence. It is Chokyuji's principal Buddhist image and is enshrined inside the National Treasure Main Hall. Advance reservation is required to view the interior of the Main Hall, with viewing hours from 9:00 to 16:00.
