The "Sacred Kannon Bodhisattva Statue", which is open to the public once every 33 years, was scheduled to be held in April last year, but it was postponed due to the influence of the new coronavirus, and from April 19 to August 21 this year. During the period, it was decided to disperse so that people would not concentrate.

Prior to the opening of the principal image, five types of special commemorative red stamps will be distributed from February 3rd. Mr. Mitsuaki Sudo, the chief priest, said, "I don't know how long the postponed opening of the book will continue because I can't see the future due to the influence of the new coronavirus. I thought I'd show off the red stamp alone at the timing of Setsubun."

The commemorative Goshuin is a 2-meter-sized Kannon that is owned by Kudo-ji, including the Kannon Bosatsu statue that depicts Kudo-ji, which is the first request from a temple by calligraphy artist Airi Hara, who draws pictures with letters.

Those who purchase all five will receive a clear file of the Kannon Bodhisattva drawn by Mr. Hara. We also provide mail for people who cannot come to the hospital from outside the prefecture.

Mr. Sudo said, "I want as many people as possible to come in contact with Kannon on a rare occasion, once every 33 years. It's a time when I can't enjoy it freely, but I pray for the end of the new Corona as soon as possible. I'm doing it. "
