Reizan Kannon

京都市東山区下河原町526−2

4.3(1022)

A Buddhist memorial facility established to honor the victims of the Pacific War, housing a giant seated statue of the White Robe Kannon (Avalokiteshvara).

History

Built in 1955 by Ishikawa Hiroshi to memorialize the victims of the Pacific War. The site was originally intended by the former Imperial Army for the construction of a Chureito (memorial tower for the fallen). The prototype was created by sculptor Yamasaki Asagumo. Initially dedicated to Japanese soldiers, the scope later expanded to include memorials for Korean victims and those who died in the atomic bombings.
