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. Dimensions closed: 8.25" High, 4" Wide, 3" Deep.

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...
