The thousand Kannon images in Sanjusangendo Temple

The thousand Kannon images in Sanjusangendo Temple

This seems to be a southern view of the Senju Kannon sculptures facing south at Rengeo-in (Sanjusangendo). The main hall was rebuilt in 1266. A total of 1001 Senju Kannon (thousand-armed deity of mercy statues) surround, in rows of 10 by 50, the statue of seated Kannon in the centre. Taken by Tamamura Kozaburo. The wooden statue in the left foreground is probably one of the Nijuhachi-bushu (28 Followers).==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number52‐38‐0]

The thousand Kannon images in Sanjusangendo Temple

The Sanjusangendo in Higashiyama-ku of Kyoto City. The temple enshrines the thousand Kannons offered by Taira Kiyomori at the request of the ex-Emperor Goshirakawa. The thousand Buddhas (wooden statues of thousand-handed Kannon, actually 1001 statues in all) are based on the anclent theory that if a ruler creates many Buddhas, the whole nation will be promised happiness. There are 500 statues in ten rows on both sides of the principal image of the seated thousand-handed Kannon, and one in the back. The inscription in the bottom reads 10000 .==Date:unknown, Place:Kyoto, Photo:Kusakabe Kinbei, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number1‐24‐0]
