| Lit. whole body halo. A halo, *kouhai 光背 surrounding the head and body of a Buddhist image. Named according to its shape and decoration; for example a boat shape (with a pointed top) is called *funagata kouhai 舟形光背, a flame design *kaen kouhai 火焔光背, and a cloud design kumogatakou 雲形光. Some kyoshinkou known as *nijuu enkou 二重円光 'double round halo', consist of a round head halo *zukou 頭光 and body halo *shinkou 身光 joined together. A single halo enclosing all three figures of a triad sanzonzou 三尊像 is called ikkou sanzonshiki kouhai 一光三尊式光背. A good example of a boat shaped kyoshinkou can be seen on the Shaka Sanzonzou 釈迦三尊像 (623) in Houryuuji Kondou 法隆寺金堂, Nara, and a double round kyoshinkou on the Amida Nyorai 阿弥陀如来 (946) in Iwafunedera 岩船寺, Kyoto. | ||||||
