A concept of Shinto-Buddhist unity, believing that the native Japanese religion, Shintoism, and the imported religion of Indian origin, Buddhism, were two branches from the same stem, arose in the Early Heina period (9th century). Buddhist and Shinto divinities were regarded as manifestations of the same deities in different forms. Images of Buddhist and Shinto divinities, thus, were often installed in one temple or shrine. As the Buddhist title Dai-Bosatsu (Great Bodhisattva) was dedicated to the Shinto God Hachiman, he was often represented in the form of a Buddhist monk.This present statue, relatively small in dimensions, is considered to have formerly been placed in some Shinto shrine. The gentle face and graceful figure retain vestiges of the elegant Heian period.
