Sanju-sangen-do meaning a hall with thirty-three spaces between the pillars is the Main Hall in Rengeo-in in
Kyoto.
The temple established in 1164 was lost in fire; current buildings are from 1266. The most important in Sanju-sangen-do are
1001 statues of Buddhist diety, Juichimen-senju-sengen Kanzeon, often called by the simplified name, Kannon.
A thousand of standing statues made of Japanese cypress in 12th and 13th century are on either side
of the one most famous, a seated statue of Thousand-armed Kannon carved in 1254.
