This Thousand-Armed Kannon statue dates back to the Showa era. There is some discoloration and dirt, but no major damage such as tears in the hands. This Thousand-Armed Kannon statue embodies a pure and pure heart of compassion. Each hand holds a separate part. It is placed facing forward, demonstrating a deep heart of compassion. Its pure arms, folded and stretched, seek to save all suffering sentient beings. With its antique finish, it has been reproduced as a Buddhist statue exuding a solemn atmosphere. Its antique charm differs from the elegant Thousand-Armed Kannon statues with eleven faces and forty-two arms made in later times. It is said to bestow various blessings, including protection from disasters, prolonging life, and healing from illness, and is especially beneficial for marital harmony. We recommend enshrining it as a family heirloom worthy of being passed down from generation to generation.
