Muryōkō-ji no Obotoke, Bronze Buddha statue at Muryōkō-ji temple in Wakayama, Japan.

Muryōkō-ji no Obotoke is a bronze Buddha statue at the Muryōkō-ji temple in Wakayama, crafted with refined metalwork techniques. The figure displays characteristic features of Japanese religious art with rich detail in posture and drapery.

The statue was created during a period when Japanese artists adapted and developed Buddhist traditions from Korea and China. These artistic connections continue to shape the figure's appearance today.

The statue reflects Buddhist artistic traditions that have been passed down through Japanese communities. Visitors can observe how religious devotion and skilled craftsmanship come together in the figure's presentation.

The temple is located near Wakayama and is accessible by foot from the station, with the path passing other shrines. Comfortable shoes are recommended and it is worth allowing time to explore the entire grounds.

The statue retains its original bronze patina, giving it a warm, muted appearance that sets it apart from newer polished works. This natural weathering is part of the work's visual identity.
