Suiseiji Temple
said to have been founded by Minamoto no Yorimasa
The principal image enshrined within the altar cabinet at Suisei-ji Temple is a standing statue of the Eleven-Faced Kannon Bodhisattva. Standing 99 cm tall, it is a yosegi-zukuri (joined wood) sculpture. Its elongated face, large, prominent features, and decorative hair suggest it was created by a sculptor from the In-ha school, a lineage of sculptors originating with Jocho, during the Nanbokucho period. It is also said that Minamoto no Yorimasa founded Suisei-ji Temple.
