此像是由镰仓时代初期的日本著名佛师快庆于1202年所制作，他的作品雕造技艺细腻精致，劲美高超，颇能表现镰仓时代雕刻艺术之精髓，而成为后世佛师之轨范。地藏菩萨现比丘相，头形光圆，面庞饱满圆润，仪态雍容华贵。双目微垂、似在俯视芸芸众生，其神态慈悲安详，法相高贵端庄。身着僧袍，右手持六环锡杖，左手托明珠（已失）。僧袍优美流畅、衣褶呈水波纹层层涟漪，自然而下，其衣纹是由金箔及金丝线精心编绘，精美细腻、繁复华贵。其底座为单层莲座，莲瓣宽厚饱满，大气舒展，制作精美。

The bodhisattva who relieves those suffering in hell, Jizō Bosatsu (Sanskrit: Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha) attends Amida Buddha as he delivers the pious to the Western Paradise and answers the prayers of all living beings. He is represented here in his usual attitude, with a shaved head and wearing the robes of a Buddhist monk. His right hand grasps a staff (shakujō), which he shakes to awaken humans from their delusions; his left hand most likely held a wish-granting jewel (hōju no tama), signifying the bestowal of blessings. An inscription on the interior of the figure identifies this as a work by Kaikei, one of the two leading sculptors of the early Kamakura period.
