千手観音 (Senju Kannon) is a revered figure in Japanese Buddhism, known as the "Thousand-Armed Kannon." This bodhisattva embodies compassion and mercy, often depicted with multiple arms to symbolize the ability to help many beings simultaneously. Each hand may hold different objects, representing various forms of assistance and protection. The imagery of 千手観音 is inspired by the Indian deity Avalokiteshvara, who is associated with compassion. In art, this figure is often shown with a serene expression, emphasizing the importance of empathy and kindness in Buddhist teachings. Devotees believe that invoking 千手観音 can bring relief from suffering and guidance in times of need.
