JAPAN Edo Period 1750 Amida Nyorai Buddha Sculpture In Gilt Carved Wood

About the Item

An Amida Nyorai Sculpture In Gilt Carved Wood from the Edo Period. This is a superbly refined carved wooden figure of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha), the Buddha of Infinite Light, with fabulous gilding. Created in Japan during the Edo period, back in 1750. The gilding has a very nice patina and the face has a subtle gentle expression. The figure is depicted performing the welcoming mudra 来迎印 (raigô-in), symbolizing the greeting of a faithful devotee's soul at the time of death. The robes are gracefully draped over the figure, loosely hanging along the arms and gently parting at the chest. The Buddha's head features tight curls, crowned with an inlaid ushnisha, below which rests an inlaid byakugo (urna). The figure is set against a beautifully gilded, almond-shaped mandorla embellished with cloud motifs and the dharma chakra (wheel of the law) design. Amida Nyorai stands on a double-lotus throne, supported by a tiered galleried pedestal richly adorned. Period: Japan, Edo period (1600-1868). Date: 1750. Weight: About 6 Pounds (2.72 Kg.). Measurements: Height 50.4 cm, Width 17.3 cm, Depth 12.4 cm. (19.85 x 6.82 x 4.90 Inches). Height of Amida only 27.5 cm (10.85 Inches).

Located in Studio City, CA
A truly beautiful and supremely serene Japanese Amida Nyorai Buddha. A magnificent work. Meticulously hand carved in such fine and amazing detail (see hands and flowing robes). Gilded throughout. Seated with narrowed eyes in deep meditation and hands in Buddhist Abhaya Mudra position offering a blessing of protection, reassurance, peace, and benevolence. This hand position, also known as the "fear not" gesture, was achieved by Buddha immediately following his enlightenment. This work is from the late Edo period, (1603-1868)/ early Meiji period (1868-1912). From a California collection. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts/buddha collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting. One of the best Japanese Buddha sculptures...

This is truly a wonderful piece with clear age and a nice patina to it. Very unique. We have not seen another quite like it. The monk appears to have glass eyes which gives his expression a very humanistic feel. The head is removable (please see the last image). From a collection of Japanese arts and artifacts. Most likely dates back to the Edo period. Would make for a nice addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts...
