    The central image in Shōrakuji Temple’s Kannondō Hall, located to the north of the Kodera hamlet, is more than 2m high. It has a staff in its right hand and a water jug in its left, and is styled on the type of standing 11-faced Kannon statue in Hasedera Temple. Made of a mosaic of cedar blocks, Documents discovered during repairs carried out in 1995 reveal that it was made at the request of a relative of Monk Kakuei. The shoulders are broad, and arms relaxed, giving it a balanced feel, and the face has a gentle expression. From the simple lines and shallow depth of the clothing it is regarded as dating from the end of the Heian Period (latter part of the 12th century).
