Help identifying a specific statue?
 

Hello all, slightly odd request.

I'm trying to identify a statue I photographed in Kyoto last month.

Here's the link: http://imgur.com/1NASOx6

Obviously this is a long shot but the imagery of this particular figure has intrigued me and I'm trying to figure out where it is. Any ideas? A more specific place on the web to take this request?

If anyone could point me to a likely temple or shrine where I might have found this, I'd be very grateful.

edit: Hey, found it. It's at Tenryuji.

It is the Maria Kannon (Virgin Mary disguised as the Buddhist Kannon -- Goddess of Mercy) statue at Tenryuji Temple.

I found a picture here: http://www.digital-images.net/Galler...2/kyoto-2.html.

Interesting history about Maria Kannon: http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/maria-kannon.html.

Added: I see that you found it before I posted... It was interesting to read about Maria Kannon as I hadn't known about them before.

Thanks!
