Description

Haisen (M., 20th Century) Temple of Rinnoji, Nikko, Japan watercolour over pencil, 475 x 655mm, signed and inscribed, framed; and another similar watercolour of a Japanese temple 2

***Rinnoji is Nikko's most important temple. It was founded by Shodo Shonin, the Buddhist monk who introduced Buddhism to Nikko in the 8th century. The temple's main building, the Sanbutsudo, houses large, gold lacquered, wooden statues of Amida, Senju-Kannon ("Kannon with a thousand arms") and Bato-Kannon ("Kannon with a horse head"). The three deities are regarded as Buddhist manifestations of Nikko's three mountain kami ("Shinto gods") enshrined at Futarasan Shrine..
