33 Syasui Kannon

Also referred to as Reisui Kannon. This Syasui Kannon by Rakuzan Takahashi stands with an aspersory in her left hand.

Rakuzan Takahashi’s masterly techniques created a splendid work in which the heavenly raiment worn by Kannon features delicate openwork, standing in a majestic space that recreates the feel of deep mountains using rock, megaliths, and dry landscape techniques.

This Kannon rescues those suffering from maritime disasters and major floods. “Syasui” refers to perfume, and in esoteric Buddhism, this perfume purifies worldly concerns.
