Description

This wooden standing Bishamonten is enshrined on the right side of the inner sanctuary at Ishikakizan Kannonji in Tanushimaru, Kurume. Dating to the late Heian period, it is 96 cm tall, carved from a single Japanese cypress trunk and was designated a tangible cultural property of Fukuoka Prefecture in 1999. Wearing armor and holding a pagoda aloft in the left hand, it displays finely carved and well-organized details in its armor and robes. An ink inscription inside mentions a sculptor and the rank of acharya, but the sculptor's name cannot be deciphered. The prefectural database lists visiting hours of 9:00–17:00.
