This is a stone statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, believed to have been created on Sado Island in Niigata Prefecture during the Edo period. On Sado Island, there is a small Jizo hall known as “Nashinoki Jizo,” where numerous stone Buddha statues dedicated by local people since the Edo period are still enshrined today. The sight of these statues, densely covering the ground, conveys the everyday prayers of the people of that time—their heartfelt wishes for children’s growth, recovery from illness, and protection in daily life. Against this background, Jizo worship on Sado Island is closely connected to the concept of “Migawari Jizo,” or substitute Jizo. This belief holds that Jizo takes upon itself the misfortunes and suffering that would otherwise befall people. It was a common practice for people to dedicate Jizo statues...

Antique Chinese Canton Enamelled Copper Snuff Bottle with Qianlong Mark depicting exotic figures hand painted on both sides.

This is a wooden statue of **Jūichimen Senju Kannon Bosatsu (Eleven-Headed Thousand-Armed Kannon)**, created in Japan during the late Edo period. Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon), formally known as *Senju Sengen Kanzeon Bosatsu*, is regarded as a symbol of compassion who saves all people through countless hands and eyes. Rather than literally carving one thousand arms, the expression of many arms symbolically represents “infinite salvation.” This work is further rendered in the **Eleven-Headed (Jūichimen)** form, bearing multiple faces above the main head. This signifies the ability to look in all directions and to never overlook the suffering of any being. The Eleven-Headed Thousand-Armed Kannon is both refined in design and highly significant in devotional practice. At **Sanjūsangendō (Rengeō-in)** in Kyoto, a similar Eleven-Headed Thousand-Armed Kannon statue is enshrined and is widely known as one of the representative masterpieces of Japanese Buddhist sculpture...
