Japanese Wood Gilt Lacquer Buddha Buddhist Temple Traveling Zushi Shrine Altar
About the Item
A wonderful Japanese Buddhist portable traveling zushi shrine altar with Amida Buddha (Amitabha) concealed inside the folded wood doors.
This work dates back to the late Meiji/ Early Showa period.
The zushi case is made of wood and lacquer with gold leaf inside and the seated Buddha is constructed of gilded metal. The Buddha appears to have a Buddhist scripture or sutra written on the back. The work has a wonderful feel and a beautifully aged patina. Would be a great addition to and Japanese Asian artifacts/ art collection or a stand-alone eye-catching accent piece in about any setting.

- Japanese Temple Buddhist Monk Samurai Juzu Prayer Beads Mala Rosary NecklaceLocated in Studio City, CAA truly magnificent and special work - this beautiful and exceptionally long string of Japanese hand-crafted natural wood (perhaps Rosewood) Buddhist Juzu mala beads. These rosary-type large prayer bead necklaces were used by Buddhist monks in temple prayers/rituals and worn by Samurai as amulets of protection. During the Edo period, Buddhist priests/monks and samurai warriors used to wrap the beads around their bodies and use the beads in their worshipping and meditation ceremonies. After reading the sutra once, one bead would be moved (some sects used them instead of wooden tally counters). It would take a tremendous amount of intense concentration and physical stamina to read the sutra while holding and counting/moving each individual prayer bead as well as a copious amount of time to move all the prayer beads to complete the sutra cycle. We have not come across another set of Juzu beads...Category
