Description of Exhibition

Izumi Anashi Shrine (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 deities. Of these, eighty were crafted during the Heian and Kamakura periods and later collectively designated as an Important Cultural Property. The statues had deteriorated over time, suffering insect damage and pigment loss. In response, the Sumimoto Foundation generously supported the conservation of these wooden sculptures. The conservation process began in 2019 and was completed four years later. To celebrate the completion of this project, the Kyoto National Museum will exhibit approximately twenty of these statues. We hope that you enjoy the newly revitalized beauty of these deity sculptures from Izumi Anashi Shrine.
