Daikanmitsuji Temple: Avalokitesvara of Sendai
大觀密寺仙台觀音菩薩像
日本
又稱仙台天道白衣大觀音、仙台大觀音。位於日本宮城縣仙台市泉區大觀密寺。像高92公尺，包括台座達100公尺，高度取一百的數字是為紀念仙台市發展一百周年，又祈願二十一世紀之繁榮，往地下深掘21公尺，該像為目前日本最高的觀音菩薩立像。
此像入口作龍口形狀，意指登龍門、通顯達之道。像內分十二層，貫通長達60公尺，可乘電梯通達。菩薩斂目垂視，表情慈祥，體軀豐盈，身著大衣，左手握淨瓶，意為賜予眾生智慧，右手屈臂執如意寶珠，謂滿眾生之願望。觀音的腹部、背面各二處闢窗，可遠眺市區和太平洋。內部第一層安放十二神將、三十三觀音，另設有供奉水子觀音的水子供養殿；三至十一層分別安置一百零八尊佛像，供眾參拜。
