介绍（中）	观音菩萨与无限光明佛陀阿弥陀涅洹关系密切，他发誓要把众生带到西方的净土，拯救一切众生。这个角色在他的装饰肖像中有所体现。从他的金色形态向四面八方发出的冠冕和光线让人想起观音在血统（raigō）中作为阿弥陀佛（梵语：Amitābha）的主要侍从的角色。在这里，菩萨独自前来见信徒，出现在云上，仿佛从他在南大洋的天堂匆匆而来，称为Fudaraku山（梵语：Potalaka）。他的右手张开，给予慈悲，周围环绕着水晶祈祷珠，左手拿着花瓶里的莲花，代表佛教法律的治愈力量。他自己顶着十一个矮小的头，以多种方式发出信号，他似乎听到、观察和满足各种需求。光环最顶端的头是阿弥陀佛的头。
介绍（英）	The bodhisattva Kannon is closely associated with the Buddha of Infinite Light, Amida Nyorai, who vowed to save all sentient beings by bringing them to his Pure Land in the West. This role is indicated in the iconography of his adornment. The crown and rays of light that emanate in all directions from his golden form recall Kannon’s role as the principal attendant to the Amida Buddha (Sanskrit: Amitābha) in visions of descent (raigō). Here, the bodhisattva comes alone to meet the believer, appearing on a cloud as though traveling in haste from his paradise in the southern ocean, called Mount Fudaraku (Sanskrit: Potalaka). His right hand, open to bestow compassion, is encircled by crystal prayer beads, and his left holds a lotus in a vase, representing the healing power of Buddhist law. Eleven diminutive heads atop his own signal the manifold ways he appears to hear, observe, and meet every need. The haloed topmost head is that of Amida.
