Statue from the Heian period.
Made from one piece of kaya wood カヤ材の一木造り (Torreya nucifera). 73 cm high.

- quote -
The main hall of Zensuiji Temple is a designated National Treasure, and one of the three Konan Sanzan temples.
It is a popular spot in the fall, when wonderful crimson leaves can be seen. The interior also features no less than 15 Buddha statues, including representative pieces from the Tempyo period (710 - 794) and the Heian period (794 - 1185), all of which are more than worth making the trip to see them.
