Also tenkan 天冠. A crown on a Buddhist sculpture. Usually made in wood or bronze openwork *sukashibori 透彫, and sometimes decorated with precious stones or strings of jewels *yōraku 瓔珞. The crown was used on *Dainichi 大日 and *hōkan Amida 宝冠阿弥陀 Buddhas, and all bodhisattvas *bosatsu 菩薩 and guardian figures *myōō 明王 and *ten 天. Hōkan are divided into two types; those which cover the whole head, and those which ornament a part of the head like a diadem. The first type included the *sanzankan 三山冠 (three-peaked crown) as seen on *Guze Kannon 救世観音 in Hōryūji *Yumedono 法隆寺夢殿, Nara. The second type was a tall cylindrical or hexagonal crown, as found on *Fukūkenjaku Kannon 不空羂索観音 in Tōdaiji 東大寺, Nara, and *Nyoirin Kannon 如意輪観音 in Kanshinji 観心寺, Osaka. Diadem-style ornaments included sanmen tōshoku 三面頭飾 (three-sided crown) as on Yumetagae Kannon 夢違観音 in Hōryūji 法隆寺, and decoration that used petal shapes or series of small circles, often found on *Fudō Myōō 不動明王. An ornamental band around the head forming the base of a crown was called *tenkandai 天冠台. Ribbons that hung from the sides of a crown were known as *kantai 冠帯. Many hōkan indicated the nature or identity of a deity : Nikkō bosatsu 日光菩薩 wore a crown that bore a symbol of the sun, and Gakkō bosatsu 月光菩薩 a symbol of the moon; see *Nikkō Gakkō 日光・月光. Many *Kannon wore crowns that bore miniature figures called *kebutsu 化仏. These were manifestations of the various divine powers of the Kannon; see *Jūichimen Kannon 十一面観音. The *gochi hōkan 五智宝冠 worn by Dainichi bore five tiny images representing wisdom. Crowns bearing kebutsu were usually supported by a simple tenkandai.
