Selling due to decluttering. This is a shikishi board of the "Bishamonten Standing Statue" purchased at Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto.

The benefits are said to include warding off evil, bringing good luck, financial fortune, good health, and giving the strong will and protective power to overcome difficulties. In my case, I am not religious, and I was simply attracted to the beauty of the silver, purple, and yellow colors, so I bought it. However, it is beautiful to look at when displayed, and it may bring blessings. I have only taken it out occasionally to look at it, and I have not displayed it outside, so it is in good condition. 27cm x 24cm The surface of the thick paper, like a shikishi board, has a photograph processed on it. 《Kennin-ji Temple and Reigen-in Temple》 Kennin-ji Temple is known as the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto. In the southeast of its grounds, there is Reigen-in Temple, a sub-temple. It was founded during the Oei era (1394-1428). It was built by the monk Ichian Ichirin, a disciple of Ryuzan Tokken, who introduced manju (steamed buns) to Japan, and who was invited as the founding priest. From the late Kamakura period to the Muromachi period, Reigen-in Temple was considered the highest peak of Chinese literature and Gozan literature, and is known as a temple of learning where Ikkyu Sojun, also known as "Ikkyu-san," and Imagawa Yoshimoto, the warlord known as "the best archer in the sea route," and Taigen Sessai, a military strategist and monk who served the Imagawa family, trained. 《Bishamonten Standing Statue》 The "Bishamonten Standing Statue" was created in the Kamakura period by Tankei, the son of Unkei, as a statue within the seated statue of Chugan Engetsu. It can be seen that it is elaborately made, with details such as the straps suspending the breastplate being made of metal. The crystal in the left hand contains the Buddha's relics (busshari) said to have been brought back by Dengyo Daishi Saicho.
