The statue of Senju-Kannon Bosatsu at Sanjusangendo-Temple in Kyoto is one of the most famous and popular Buddhist statues in Japan. The Thousand-Armed Kannon is a bodhisattva with immense power, and due to its boundless merit and compassion, it is also called “Great Compassionate Kannon” or “Lotus King”, meaning the king of Kannon.

The Thousand-Armed Kannon is often depicted with eleven faces and forty-two arms. This stems from the concept that each of the forty hands – excluding the two central hands held in prayer – saves all living beings across the twenty-five realms of existence recognized in Buddhism, by multiplying forty by twenty-five, the total comes to one thousand.　This is an absolutely extraordinary Bodhisattva who bestows a wide range of worldly benefits – from warding off misfortune and prolonging life to healing illnesses.
