Wooden Kannon Bodhisattva Seated Statue

The statue, which is 114.3 centimeters tall and is enshrined at Higashisen-in in Ichinoseki City, is made of coniferous wood and finished with lacquered wood. It shows the sculptural style of the late Heian period, and is thought to have been created by a Buddhist sculptor who was involved in the construction of a temple in Hiraizumi during the third Fujiwara era in Oshu. The carvings are excellent, and the statue is in good condition as an inscribed statue, and it is one of the few in the prefecture that has all three parts: halo, pedestal, and Dharmakaya. In 2018, it was designated as a national important cultural property.
