The Kannon statue is 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon.

An important temple of the Nichiren sect.
It was founded in 1591 by 日覚 Priest Nichikaku in 馬喰町 Bakurocho.
After the Great Fire of Meireki in 1657, it was moved to its present location.
The statue of the founder was made by 日朗上人 Saint Nichiro (1245 ― 1320).
Nichiro had made a vow to complete the statue in 30 days
and was thus called Nichigen Soshi 日限祖師 Patriarch of the Time Limit.
Nichiro was one of the rokuroosoo 六老僧 Rokuroso, six venerable old priest.
