Kanzeonji Temple
太宰府市観世音寺５丁目６−１
A Tendai sect temple located in Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, with the mountain name Seisui-san (Clear Water Mountain). It is a representative ancient temple of Kyushu and is renowned as a treasure trove of Buddhist statue sculpture.
History
Construction was initiated in the late 7th century by Emperor Tenji to commemorate the late life of his mother, Empress Suiko. The temple was completed in 746 CE (Tenpyo 18). From the Heian period onward, it lost many halls and Buddhist statues due to fires and wind damage, but was restored in the early modern period by the Kuroda clan and wealthy merchants. Since the Meiji era, it has operated as a Tendai sect temple.
