The 28 attendants of *Senju Kannon ηŽθŠΟ‰Ή. They protect those who place their faith in Senju Kannon. They are described in texts about the deity translated into Chinese in the Tang dynasty. The list of the Twenty-eight is not fixed, and in art other deities, such as *Fuujin Raijin •—_—‹_ (the Gods of Wind and Thunder) for example, are often added. The list is made up of protective deities such as the *shite nnou Žl“V‰€, *Bonten ž“V and *Taishakuten ’ιŽί“V, protectors of Six Realms rokudou ˜Z“Ή, dragon gods ryuuou —³‰€, and others. The 28 attendants appear in paintings of Senju Kannon dating from the mid Tang and early Sung dynasty in Dunhuang (Jp: Tonkou “ΦΰŠ). They were frequently shown as attendants of Senju Kannon in both sculpture and painting, in Japan. The set of twenty-eight attendants made in 1164 for Sanjuusangendou ŽO\ŽOŠΤ“° (also known as Rengeouin ˜@‰Ψ‰€‰@) in Kyoto are the most important example in Japan.
