Wooden Yakushi Nyorai sitting statue

Sculpture February 8, 1983 Designated by the prefecture

A parquet made of cypress wood. There is a womb inscription on the inside of the statue, and as far as it is readable, it can be seen that on March 6, 1221, the Buddhist priest, Sonei built the main statue and provided an eye opening memorial service. The well-balanced appearance, well-organized face, and tight body, make it feels that this statue is a full-fledged statue that expresses the new style of Kamakura.
It is stored in Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Cultural History and is returned home in September every year.
Age: Kamakura period Seikyu 3 (1221)
Method amount: Image height 85.2 centimeters
