Japanese Wooden Buddhist Sculpture of Amida Nyorai, 16th Century
Located in Milano, IT
The Amitabha (Amida in Japanese) Buddha is shown standing with his hands forming the Amida raigo-in mudra. The face has a serene expression, with closed eyes under delicately arched brows and a severe face. The hair is arranged in rows of coils that also cover the "ushnisha", the protuberance on the head. The drapery is folded in elegant pleats falling from the shoulders to the feet. The antique sculpture is placed on a lotus flower which is located on a richly decorated base.
Faith in Amida Buddha remained largely confined to a small segment of the Japanese population until the Kamakura Era (1185-1333) when it was popularized by new Pure Land sects committed to bringing Buddhism to the illiterate commoner. These sects expressed concern for the salvation of the ordinary person and stressed pure and simple faith over complicated rites and doctrines. Amida Nyorai...

Japanese 1500-1600s Antique Wood Carving Buddha Statue / Shaka Nyorai
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
It is a wooden Buddha statue from the late Muromachi period to the early Edo period (1500 to 1600s).
I think this Buddha statue is Shaka Nyorai.
Shaka Nyorai is the highest rank of enlightened Buddhism.
It's a small Buddha statue, but it's very beautiful and makes us feel like our hearts are washed.
It calms you down.
I think it was made especially around the 1500s in the Muromachi period.
This is because the Buddhist statues of the Muromachi period have a stroking shoulder and a slightly bulging stomach.
And the weight is light.
The older the age, the more water will be removed from the wood.
Therefore, the weight is light.
This Buddha statue weighs 35g.
Also, old Buddha statues...
