Sendai-Daikannon, the Byakue-Kannon, is said to be the mother of the Kannons, who gives birth to various Buddhas, and is one of the 33 Kannons.
In her right hand, she holds the Nyoi-Hoju that fulfills our wishes, and in her left hand, she holds the water bottle that stores the water of wisdom of all virtues, which she pours it on us and bestows wisdom.
Also, the entrance is a dragon's mouth, which promises good luck and success as the dragon rises vigorously.
The teaching is that if you calmly put your hands on your palms and pray the Shingon(mantra) of the Byakue-Kannon, "On Shibeitei Shibeitei Handara Bashini Sowaka" all misfortunes will disappear, and bad luck will become good luck.
The total length of the Kannon statue is 100 meters in height to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the growing Sendai City Government, and 21 meters below ground in hopes of prosperity in the 21st century.
