Also called iza 倚坐, suisokuza 垂足坐, and chōjiza 丁字坐. An image that is seated on a stool or pedestal usually with both legs pendant. This term has not been found in ancient sources, and is therefore presumed to be recently coined. There are many examples of izō images in Japan from the Hakuhō period onward: the central Buddha from the wall painting of Yakushi jōdo zu 薬師浄土図 at Hōyūji *Kondō 法隆寺金堂; the embroidered tapestry showing Shaka nyorai seppō zu 釈迦如来説法図 in the Nara National Museum (previously owned by Kanshūji 勧修寺), and Shaka nyoraizō 釈迦如来像 from Jindaiji 深大寺 in Tokyo. Examples of izō images were also created in the Kamakura period and later. These included portraits of Zen monks *chinsō 頂相 and depictions of Shinto deities *shinzō 神像 which were influenced by images newly brought over from China. Seated images having pendant legs which are crossed at the ankles forming an "X" arrangement called *kōkyakuzō 交脚像 can also fit into the category of izō.
