Kanshin-ji, Buddhist temple in Kawachinagano, Japan
The main hall of Kanshin-ji temple contains a wooden statue of Nyoirin Kannon measuring 108.8 centimeters, created during the 9th century.
Founded in 701 by En no Gyoja, the temple was reconstructed in 815 by Kukai who carved the principal image and changed its name from Unshin-ji.
The temple serves as the ancestral memorial site for the Kusunoki clan, with a statue of Masashige Kusunoki standing near the main gate.
The temple opens its doors for special viewing of the National Treasure Nyoirin Kannon statue exclusively on April 17th and 18th each year.
Seven burial mounds within the temple grounds represent the Big Dipper constellation, established when Kukai visited the site in 808.
