4 Enkou Kannon

The statue is seated on a rock with its palms clasped, its body bathed in the light. The delicate workmanship of the light (that is, a halo) that shines from the back of the head, and the elegant robe worn by Kannon, boast a superb degree of perfection that makes it difficult to believe the material is even stone. The balance of the overall work makes it a masterpiece, with the use of perspective making it seem to actually emit light.

It is said that if you pray to this Kannon, your opponent’s sword will break and you will avoid harm.
