RYOZEN KWANNON visit on 23rd December 2008

In commemoration of those Japanese who sacrificed themselves in the last war and for the establishment of a peaceful Japan, this concrete statue of the compassionate Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Kwannon) was erected.

Lying at the foot of the placid, evergreen-covered eastern mountain range of Kyoto, this beautiful statue with its merciful face is about 24m tall.
