Virtrual Shinobu Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #6 Kannon-ji Temple

 

     Kannon-ji Temple was founded sometime between 1596 and 1615 at the beginning of the Tokugawa Shogunate.  Although the temple was founded by ordinary people, its main hall is made of Japanese cypresses and has an elegant and magnificent style.

     The hall enshrines the 58.3-centimeters-tall sitting statue of Horse-Headed Hayagriva.  The image's hair stands on end with rage.  It has 3 faces and its center face has 3 eyes with its mouth open to show its upper fangs.  The other 2 faces' mouths are shut tight.  It has 8 arms.  The image sits with its right knee drawn and its soles put together.  The sitting style is called Rinpoche.
