#Manjushri Namasangiti. 13th/14th century. #Nepal. Gilt copper. One of the most important deities within the Newari #Buddhist tradition of the #Kathmandu Valley. He is conceived as the spiritual progenitor of all #Tathagathas and the entire Buddhist #cosmos. As such his multi-armed form as Namansangiti here is a metaphor for his cosmic portent, providing him with six arms to represent each of the five #Buddha families and #Vajrasattva.

Kennin-ji: A historic #Kamakura period temple founded by Minamoto no Yoriie, the second shogun of the #Kamakura shogunate, and founded by Eisai, the founder of the Rinzai sect of #Buddhism. The principal image of #Buddha, Shakyamuni Nyorai, is enshrined inside the hall. In addition, in 2002, to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the building's founding, a picture of the Twin Dragons was painted on the ceiling by #Japanese painter Junsaku Koizumi.
