A school of Buddhist sculptors *busshi 仏師, based in Kyoto, active from the late Heian through the Kamakura period. The In-pa, together with the *En-pa 円派 school, active in Kyoto during the same period, are collectively known as *Kyoto busshi 京都仏師. In-pa was founded by Jōchō's 定朝 grandson Injo 院助 (?-1077), and had major workshops *bussho 仏所, in *shichijō oomiya bussho 七条大宮仏所 and *rokujō madenokōji bussho 六条万里小路仏所. The name In-pa derived from the frequent use of the character 院 In in sculptors' names. The best known members were: Injo's pupils Inkaku 院覚 and Inchō 院朝 in the mid-12th century, and their pupils Inson 院尊 (1120-98), Inkei 院慶, and Inshō 院尚 in the late 12th century. Of these sculptors Inson was considered the most eminent, and was awarded the highest rank of the Buddhist priesthood in the late 12th century, when the In-pa school dominated Japanese sculpture-making. They worked mainly on commissions for the Heian imperial court and nobility, and their style is representative of so-called Japanese style *wayō 和様 sculpture; gentle, with elegant features such as long, extended eyebrows, and smoothly undulating robes. Examples include the Amida Nyoraizazō 阿弥陀如来坐像 (1130) in Hōkkongōin 法金剛院, believed to be by Inkaku; the Jūichimen Kannonzō 十一面観音像 (1233) in Hōshakuji 宝積寺, by Inson's pupil Inpan 院範; and the Shōtoku Taishizō 聖徳太子像 (1252) in Ninnaji 仁和寺, by Inchi 院智, all in Kyoto. Unfortunately none of Inson's works survive, although records assert that he was responsible for the construction of the halo for Nara's Tōdaiji *Daibutsu 東大寺大仏 after fire damage in 1180. Between 1251 and 1266 many In-pa sculptors participated in construction of the Sentai senju Kannonzō 千体千手観音像 for Rengeōin 蓮華王院 (Sanjūsangendō 三十三間堂), Kyoto. The calm, graceful style of the In-pa perfectly suited the taste of the Kyoto aristocracy. In-pa fortunes declined in the Kamakura period when the Kamakura government came to favor the Nara based *Kei-ha 慶派 school. The In-pa continued production on a smaller scale, and enjoyed a revival in the late 14th century when they worked for Shōgun families and temples of the Zen 禅 and Ritsu 律 sects in the Tokyo area.
