Description of Exhibition

Izumi Anashi Shrine, located in the city of Izumiotsu, Osaka, is said to have been established during the mid-seventh century. The shrine long held considerable influence within the region and is listed as an official shrine in the text Procedures of the Engi Era (Engi shiki) of 927. Izumi Anashi Shrine houses a total of eighty-three statues of Shinto deities. Of these, eighty were carved during the Heian (794–1185) and Kamakura (1185–1333) periods; they were later collectively designated as an Important Cultural Property. Over time, the statues began to deteriorate from insect damage and pigment loss. In response, the Sumitomo Foundation generously supported the conservation of these wooden sculptures. The conservation process began in 2019 and was finalized four years later. To celebrate the completion of this project, the Kyoto National Museum is exhibiting twenty six of these statues. We hope that you enjoy the newly revitalized beauty of these deity sculptures from Izumi Anashi Shrine.
