Description

Kanzeonji's Treasure House holds a wooden standing Kisshoten from around the late Heian period to the early 12th century. At 215.5 cm tall, it is among Japan's largest surviving images of the goddess, made from joined camphorwood and designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Its relaxed, upright pose, gently simplified robe folds and calm face form a harmonious composition. The larger-than-life image of the goddess associated with good fortune conveys a quiet nobility distinct from the fierce guardian figures nearby.
