Among the objects related to Japanese Christianity from Nagasaki, depictions of Kannon holding a child are the most common. However, the details of each sculpture are different. Using CT scans, researchers have found that some of these figures were made with a similar mold. They were likely made in the same factory and were then brought into Nagasaki.
