Senju Kannon (One-Thousand-Armed Avalokiteshvara) — Daihi Kannon
Senju Kannon is a revered bodhisattva figure associated with great compassion, also known as Senju-sengen Kanjizai Bosatsu (One-Thousand Hands, One-Thousand Eyes Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva).
The many hands and eyes symbolize attentive care for beings in difficulty, and for this reason the figure is also called Daihi Kannon, “Kannon of Great Mercy,” and Renge-O, “King of the Kannon.”

About this piece
This piece depicts Senju Kannon, a form of Avalokiteshvara celebrated for boundless compassion.
