Bodhisattva Cintāmaṇicakra, 9-10th century
Heian period, Japan
Wood, single block construction
Height: 94.9
Important Cultural Property
The legend said that this statue was discovered in the sea of Tango region. The carving technique of the early Heian period can be seen on the stern face with connected eyebrows, as well as the thick and broad body structure. The scarf-like cloth (jōhaku) was draped widely which is rare to see, it leads a theory that this statue belongs to the Tendai sect.
Collection of the Nara National Museum

Toyokawa Inari Shrine: Syncretic Religion
A little while back, during my post on Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto, Japan, I alluded to how the native Shinto religion often blended with Buddhism up until the early modern period (e.g. the Meiji Period) when they were more forcefully separated.
You can still see vestiges of this blending in some temples and shrines, but one great example is the Toyokawa Inari shrine right in the heart of…

Golden Thousand-Armed Kannon statue
(黄金の千手観音像)
Of course, it is not pure gold, but gilt. I got this Senju Kannon a long time ago.
At the time I got it, it didn't stand up on its own (it probably came with a special stand and Zushi-cabinet, but it was missing), so I lost interest in it and put it away.
Recently, I took it out, I was once again impressed by the intricate and exquisite carving or casting.
I wonder how it was made. I wonder if each arm was made by molding and carving, and then fitted into each arm one by one.
Or was the whole thing made in one mold and then add detailed carvings later?
The face of the Kannon, made of jade, is also well carved with half-open eyes.
Furthermore, the metal covering around the face must have required a high level of skill.
I don't know the exact year, but I suspect it is from the Qing dynasty.
Unfortunately, the front two arms are missing. But they're only two of the thousand arms. lol
The thousand-armed Kannon saves people with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.
May the compassion of the Buddha gently surround you.
