神社の参道や社殿の前に鎮座する狛犬。魔除けや厄除けの役割がある霊獣です。
狛犬は、邪気を払い神様と神社をお守りするために鎮座している霊獣です。左右の獣は違う品種で、右は口を『阿（ア）』と開けた獅子、左は口を『吽（ウン）』と閉じた狛犬です。狛犬は魔除けだけでなく、その形から、人々の暮らしや幸せを守る象徴ともされています。
円空（1632–1695）は、江戸時代前期に全国を行脚しながら数多くの仏像を彫り続けた修験僧です。生涯で約12万体を彫ったとも伝えられ、その素朴で力強い作風は「円空仏」として広く知られています。
円空彫りの最大の特徴は、鑿（のみ）の跡をあえて残した荒々しくも温かみのある表現です。細部まで作り込むのではなく、大胆な面取りと簡潔な造形によって、仏の本質的な姿を表そうとしました。そのため、素朴でありながら不思議な迫力と慈悲を感じさせる独特の魅力があります。
こちらの石像は円空の作風にならい、その精神性と造形美を現代に伝えることを目指して制作されたものです。鑿跡を活かした力強い彫りや、簡潔で温かみのある表情など、円空の特徴を大切にしながら、一体一体丁寧に仕上げております。
白河石は福島県白河地方で産出する安山岩です。灰色がかった色味で、柔らかく落ち着きのある風合いが特徴の石材です。準硬石なので加工が容易で、古墳の石室や墓所、灯篭、石垣、石蔵などに使用されてきました。白河小峰城の石垣や、京都・桂離宮の石橋にも使用されています。四百年以上の歴史を持ちますが、埋蔵量が豊富で今後も安心して使える豊富な天然資源と言えます。

Komainu are sacred animals enshrined to ward off evil spirits and protect the gods and shrines. The beasts on the left and right are of different breeds, the one on the right is a lion with its mouth open in the "A" (阿) shape, and the one on the left is a Komainu with its mouth closed in the "Un" (吽) shape. Komainu are not only used to ward off evil, but because of their shape they are also seen as a symbol of protecting people's lives and happiness.
Enku (1632–1695) was an ascetic monk who continued to carve numerous Buddhist statues while traveling throughout the country during the early Edo period. It is said that he carved approximately 120,000 statues during his lifetime, and his simple yet powerful style is widely known as ``Enku Buddha''.
The most distinctive feature of Enku-bori is the rough yet warm expression that leaves traces of the chisel. Rather than going into every detail, I tried to express the essential figure of the Buddha through bold bevels and simple shapes. As a result, it has a unique charm that makes you feel a simple yet mysterious power and compassion.
This stone statue was created in the style of Enku, with the aim of conveying its spirituality and sculptural beauty to the present day. It is carefully finished as a whole while respecting the characteristics of Enku, such as the powerful carving that makes use of the chisel marks and the simple and warm expression.
Shirakawa stone is andesite produced in the Shirakawa region of Fukushima Prefecture. This stone has a grayish color and is characterized by a soft and calming texture. Since it is a semi-hard stone, it is easy to process and has been used for stone chambers of ancient tombs, graves, lanterns, stone walls, stone storehouses, etc. It is also used for the stone walls of Shirakawa Komine Castle and the stone bridge of Katsura Imperial Villa in Kyoto. Although it has a history of more than 400 years, it has abundant reserves and can be said to be a rich natural resource that can be used with confidence in the future.
