木造観世音菩薩坐像
これは仏教の慈悲の菩薩である観音の像です。 12世紀のカツラの一木造りで、金箔で覆われていました。
多くの観音像と同様に、蓮の花の上に座り、左手にもう一つの蓮の花を持ち、祝福のジェスチャーで右手を上げます。 繊細な表情、飾り布、髪の毛の姿などは、平安時代（794–1185）の仏像の穏やかで洗練された美学の特徴です。 この像は、毛越寺の子院である白王院に納められていました。

Mokuzo Kannon Bosatsu
Statue of the bodhisattva Kannon
Iwate Prefecture Tangible Cultural Property
This statue of Kannon, the bodhisattva of compassion in Buddhism, was made in the twelfth century from a single block of katsura wood and was covered with gold leaf.
The figure is seated on a lotus flower and holds another lotus flower in its left hand, with its right hand raised in a gesture of blessing. The delicate expression, soft drapery of the garments, and wisps of hair are characteristic of the gentle, refined aesthetics of Buddhist statuary in the twelfth century. The statue was previously housed in Hakuō-in, a sub-temple of Mōtsūji Temple.
