The Kudara Kannon

花は香り、人は心。 The Kudara Kannon is one of Horyuji Temple’s most famous treasures, attracting visitors from all over the world for its religious and artistic significance. The beautiful sculpture is made from one piece of camphor wood and is 209.4 centimeters tall. Research to date has not been able to establish when the statue was made. It first appears in Horyuji documents in the seventeenth century and it has been known as the “Kudara Kannon” since early twentieth century. According to the seventeenth century documents, the statue came to Japan from Kudara, the Japanese name for the Korean kingdom of Paekche (371–660). However, it is thought that the statue was made in Japan. A replica of the statue was made for the British Museum in the 1930s. The original statue was featured in an exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris in 1997. Text: https://www.horyuji.or.jp/sp/en/garan/daihozoin/
