Japanese Standing Gilt Buddha, Amida Nyorai, Edo Period, 18th century, Japan

About the Item

An exquisite Japanese carved hinoki and gilt lacquered standing figure of Amida Nyorai, Amitabha Buddha, Edo Period, 18th century, Japan. The spectacular fully gold gilt figure of Amida Nyorai is portrayed standing upon an elaborate lotus pedestal with individually carved petals painted in green and blue mineral pigments with gilt highlights. The open lotus is supported by a charming blue painted shishi on an ornate fluted and undulating base. This figure of Amida Nyorai is luminous, covered all over in a rich and bright gold lacquer. Amida Nyorai, Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, is dressed in loose fitting robes that drape elegantly around his robust figure, leaving his chest and the top of his belly exposed. He holds his hands in raigo-in, the mudra of welcoming, performed with the thumb touching the index finger. This gesture is used to remind worshipers of Amida Buddha's promise to welcome them into his Western Paradise, or Pure Land when they pass from this realm. It is believed Amida himself descends from the Pure Land to guide the faithful to his paradise. His full, round face is calm and expressive. He looks out from heavily lidded and downcast inset and painted rock crystal eyes. High arched brows, a broad, flat nose and plump lips set in a complete the face. The forehead with a hole that once held a now-missing urna. Narrow, s-shaped ears with long earlobes and blue painted hair arranged in the traditional neat rows of curls over a pronounced ushnisha frame the face. This figure of Amida Nyorai is carved from hinoki (cypress) wood, gessoed, lacquered, and gilt. The gilding worn in some areas, revealing the black lacquer below. Provenance: The estate of T. Boone Pickens, Dallas, TX

Carved Wood Gilt-Lacquered Sculpture of Seated Japanese Edo Buddha Amida Nyorai

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...
