Avalokitesvara / Sho Kannon
Also known as Kannon Bodhisattva, this name was given from the meaning that it is always watching people and if there is a voice of salvation, it will help in a blink of an eye and it was also widely believed in Japan.
When saving those who are suffering, it changes into various forms such as Senju Kannon and Eleven-Faced Kannon and extends a helping hand.
In order to distinguish it from the changing Kannon, it is called Sho Kannon as the basic form of all Kannon Bodhisattvas.
The lotus flower on his left hand represents us humans, and the feeling of the Sho Kannon Bodhisattva trying to open its petals is a manifestation of a gentle feeling that tries to awaken our hearts that are difficult to understand. .
He is a bodhisattva who always looks over the world and saves us from troubles and sufferings.
