| These works by Ohkyo and his pupils also represent the word
of the Buddha centered on the 11-headed Kwannon Bosatsu(Boddhisattva). The11-headed
Kwannon has 11 faces around his head. The three faces in front are called
the faces of Peacefulness, the three on the left are called the face of
Anger, and the three on the right are the face of Threat. The singe face
in the back called the face of Smiles. At the top is the Amida Buddha, and
this makes a total of 11 heads. |

| At Daijyo-ji, there are11 rooms surrounding the central room
where the 11-headed Kwannon statue resides, and two additional rooms on
the second floor. In total, there are 13 rooms in which Ohkyo and his pupils
painted their works. In producing the panels at Dajjyo-ji, Ohkyo first planned
the placement and design of the 13 different rooms, and distributed the
work among his pupils. He constructed the individual rooms so that when
they are combined, they signify a meaningful totality. This grand totality
is the world of the 11-headed Kwannon, the world of Buddhist paradise. |
