Description

The Treasure House of Kanzeonji contains an imposing wooden standing Eleven-Faced Kannon, approximately 4.98 m tall. An inscription dates its creation to 1069 and identifies the master sculptor Kai Koshi Senmyo. Made from joined Japanese cypress, its rounded cheeks, gentle expression and flowing drapery distinguish this monumental figure. It is designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan and represents the rebuilding of Kanzeonji's images after the devastating fire of 1064. It commands attention even among the other exceptionally large statues in the Treasure House.
