Town Designated Tangible Cultural Property
The "syncretism" of Shinto and Buddhism is a unique concept to Japan, and this statue was made with influences from statues of Buddha. With a height of 22.5 cm, this statue is made from a single piece of wood and still has traces of color. Presumably made in the late Heian Period due to being moderately simplified and for its precise bladework.
