Japanese antique wooden Buddha statue / Edo period / 1600 to 1800

About the Item

This wooden statue is a relic from Japan's Edo period, and within it lies a deep history that transcends time. Originally, it was part of a more intricate statue, likely adorned with outstretched hands, a pedestal, and a radiant halo, but after centuries, only the torso and face of the Buddhist statue remain. This sculpture has survived natural disasters, fires, and wars, and although it is missing parts, it still retains its radiance. This statue of Kannon Bosatsu stands out for the simplicity and beauty of its wood carving. The finely carved face displays a tranquil, meditative expression, as if inviting a moment of introspection. The flowing drapery of the robes, carefully carved, captures the subtle play of light and shadow on the material, showcasing the artist's skill and further enhancing the serene aura of the piece. While much of the original gold leaf has worn away over time, traces of gold decoration remain on the pedestal, hinting at the grandeur it once possessed. Currently, the statue has darkened with soot and smoke residue, which tells the story of its long life. On the back of the statue, there is an inscription that identifies it as "Sei Kannon" (Sacred Kannon), confirming that this is indeed a statue of Kannon Bosatsu. Despite its small size, the statue exudes an overwhelming presence. It would blend beautifully as a welcoming figure in an entryway, greeting visitors with a calm gaze, or as a centerpiece in a living room or study, adding a meditative tranquility. This Kannon statue, with its exquisite balance of antique art and artistry, embodies the very essence of wabi-sabi. With its deep connection to Japanese culture and spiritual history, this Kannon statue is a valuable addition to any collection. Its presence will undoubtedly enrich your space, inviting peace and quiet introspection. As a historical piece, allow it to continue its journey in your home. Weight: 0.3 kg *The pedestal on which the Buddha statue is placed is also sold on this site. [We mainly sell old Japanese items. We've seen tens of thousands of items so far.
