About the Item

Antique print, titled: 'Tempel met Duysent Beelden.' The Temple of Sanjusangen-Do in Kyoto, dedicated to the Thousand Armed Kannon. The central statue is that of Kannon. In front of the main statue are 28 smaller statues of guardian deities. Additionally, a thousand statues of Kannon were present (seen to the left and right). Sanjusangen-do is a Buddhist temple of the Tendai sect in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan. The temple was founded in 1164 by Taira no Kiyomori for the cloistered Emperor Go-Shirakawa. It is officially known as Rengeo-in (hall of the Lotus King) and belongs to the Myoho-in temple complex. Sanjusangen-do is most famous for its massively long hondo (main hall) dating from 1266 (Kamakura period) and designated a National Treasure of Japan, and the collection of sculptures it houses, including 1001 standing Thousand-armed Kannon, 28 standing attendants, a statue of Fujin and a statue of Raijin, and the principal image of the temple, a big seated statue of Thousand-armed Kannon, all of them designated National Treasures in the category of sculptures, most of them dating to the Heian to Kamakura periods.
