Buddha image carved by the people
木彫りの民衆仏
In the past in Japan, ordinary citizens carved Buddhist statues with their own hands and enshrined them on hearths and other places.It is said that because of poverty, they used pieces of wood and broken branches as materials for carving. The small, simple appearance of these precious relics reminds us of the modest lifestyle of the Japanese people in the past.
