Kannon-ji, Buddhist temple in Kyōtanabe, Japan
Kannon-ji Temple consists of multiple buildings with the main hall housing the sacred Eleven-faced Kannon statue in a traditional architectural setting.
Founded during the Nara period by monk Gien as Kanshinzan Shinzan-ji Temple, the temple was later revived by Ryoben during the Tenpyo era between 729 and 748.
The temple preserves a National Treasure wood-core dry lacquer standing statue of the Eleven-faced Kannon, representing exceptional Buddhist craftsmanship from the Nara period.
Located at 13 Fugenji Shimodaimon in Kyōtanabe, the temple remains an active place of worship belonging to the Chizan School of the Pure Land Buddhist sect.
Despite experiencing multiple fires throughout its history, the temple maintained its significance through continuous rebuilding efforts supported by the Fujiwara clan.
