Serene Kannon

Eleven-faced Kanzeon and two Great Buddhas are beautifully lined up in a small hall. First, a voice commentary will be played, and then the commentator will explain. The commentator will explain in very detail, so if you have weak legs, there are plenty of seats, so it's a good idea to sit and listen. You can park for free at the "Takatsuki Kannon no Sato History and Folklore Museum". The surrounding streets are a simple countryside landscape.

The eleven-faced Kannon statue of the national treasure is enshrined.

Original Text

The eleven-faced Kannon statue, a national treasure that is said to have been carved during the time of Emperor Shomu, is enshrined. Looking at the creation style, there is an expert opinion that it is ９ century, but it is wonderful anyway. The precincts are also beautifully maintained.

Sensual beauty

Original Text

It is an eleven-faced Kannon statue enshrined in Mugenji Temple (Toganji Kannon-do). It's wonderful. It is tilted to the right a little, and when viewed from the side, it is also a little forward, and it is not possible to say anything, and it is even sensual. It's been a long time since I saw the Maitreya Bodhisattva at Koryuji Temple when I was young and was nailed to it, I was impressed by how beautiful it was.
