In Japan, the statues of Juichimen Kannon were produced and worshipped eagerly since the Nara period, and the statue of Juichimen Kannon in the wall paintingof Horyu-ji Temple Kondo (法隆寺金堂) (which was damaged by a fire in 1949) seems to be the oldest work. |
日本では、奈良時代から十一面観音の造像・信仰はさかんに行われ、法隆寺金堂壁画(1949年の火災で焼損)中の十一面観音像が最古の作例と見なされる。 |
