Sendai Daikannon Statue

Sendai Daikannon, officially known as the Sendai Tendou Byakue Daikannon, is a large statue located in Sendai, Japan. It portrays a woman, the bodhisattva Byakue Kannon holding the cintamani gem in her hand.

It is the tallest statue of a goddess in Japan and the tenth-tallest statue in the world, at 100 metres. The monument itself is 92 m tall, while the pedestal brings its total height to 100 m.
