Statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Jingo-ji)

The Statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Japanese: 木造薬師如来立像, Hepburn: Mokuzō Yakushi Nyorai Ritsuzō) is a late 8th to early 9th-century Japanese Buddhist sculpture dating to the early Heian period depicting the standing figure of Bhaisajyaguru, or the Medicine Buddha. Designated a National Treasure of Japan, the Yakushi Nyorai serves as the principal figure of worship at Jingo-ji, Ukyō-ku, Kyoto. It is deemed a significant masterpiece of early Heian art, as well as a major icon of Shingon Buddhist history. Its primary sculptor remains anonymous.

Primarily housed in the Kondō of Jingo-ji, it has left the temple for the first time since its creation, as part of a special exhibit at the Tokyo National Museum, in 2024.
