Kōchō first created a ceiling painting of Buddha's 10 Great Disciples (十大弟子), replacing a dragon mural (painted by Kanō Tan'yū 狩野探幽 1602-74) that had been completely destroyed in the Meiji period.
He then turned his attention to crafting an army of statues!

Not long after he became head priest, Kōchō gathered a team of amateurs to begin sculpting small statues of 'rakan' (羅漢 aka 'arhats'), the 500 disciples present when Buddha first expounded the Flower Sutra.
The initial goal was 500 statues.
