Description

Rokuharamitsuji’s Reiwakan displays an Important Cultural Property wooden seated Jizo Bosatsu from the Kamakura period. Temple tradition attributes the statue to Unkei, and it was formerly the principal image of Juurin-in, the ancestral temple of Unkei’s family. Known as “Yumemi Jizo,” it is especially admired for its refined, handsome face and the varied, lively folds of its robes. At Juurin-in it was enshrined together with seated portraits of Unkei and Tankei, linking the image closely to the faith of the Kei-school sculptors. The original statue can normally be viewed in Reiwakan from 9:00 to 16:15.
