Description

This wooden standing Bishamonten at Kanzeonji's Treasure House dates to the Heian period. Measuring 160 cm high and carved from a single camphorwood trunk, it wears armor, has a fierce expression, and holds a pagoda in its left hand and a staff in its right. An earth goddess supports its feet, with demons at either side, identifying the figure as Tobatsu Bishamonten, guardian of cities and the realm. Designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan, it conveys concentrated strength beside the collection's much larger Kannon statues.
