Hokke-ji Temple

Hokke-ji Temple

By Akira Kubo

 I have many memories of the Jyuuichimen Kannon in this temple when I was studying the arts. The unity of the dark skin colors are imbedded in my mind and remind me of the Yamato basin history. The Kannon has an elegant and merges well into the peaceful space. I tried to express when the Kannon is kind, and when it is severe.
