About the Item

This is a very old wooden Buddha statue from Japan. Many Buddhist statues are enshrined in old Japanese temples. Since several Buddha statues were created in each era, they are often kept in temple storehouses. However, there are many Buddha statues that have been stored for a long time and have deteriorated wooden parts due to insect bites. This Buddha statue is one of them. I believe it was made before the 16th century. ・8th century to 11th century = Heian period ・12th century to mid-14th century = Kamakura period ・From the late 14th century to around the 16th century = Momoyama period The era is divided into the following, and the style of Buddha statues also differs in each era. This Buddha statue is a little similar to the body structure of the Heian period. The balance of the body of the Buddha statues of this period is unique, and they are characterized by their plump bodies, long arms, short torso, long legs, and a little short from the knee down. I think you can see that this Buddha statue also has long arms. The legs are bent, but slightly longer than the torso. Although it is not possible to determine the period based on these features alone, it is believed that this worm-eaten deterioration dates to the 16th century or earlier. Before the 16th century, the wooden surface became smooth, and the weight of the main body became considerably lighter due to the removal of moisture from the wood. There is a Buddha statue with a similar atmosphere in the art book, so I will put it on. These are Buddha statues from around the 8th century to the 14th century. In addition, this Buddha statue is "Kannon Bodhisattva". Kannon Bodhisattva is the name of a Bodhisattva that is especially worshiped in Buddhism. He is the next most precious being after Tathagata. It is a Buddha statue that immediately rescues the people of the world when they hear their voices asking for salvation. This Buddha statue is sitting with both hands bent. Such poses are rare and not often seen. In addition, the face and body sculptures have disappeared due to deterioration, so it looks like an abstract sculpture. it's very beautiful. Buddha statues like this are rarely seen on the market. It is a very precious one. Please decorate it in your favorite place. Weight: 1.45kg Also, please be aware that small pieces of wood may come out due to vibrations during transportation.

Japanese Gilt Seated Kannon Figure, circa 1850

Located in Chicago, IL

Intricately carved and finished with gilt black lacquer, this seated figure depicts the bodhisattva Guanyin, known in Japanese Buddhism as Kannon. Described as the "Buddha of Infinite Compassion," Kannon is the embodiment of mercy and makes himself available to all who call upon him with all their mind. Kannon is depicted here seated in diamond position upon a double lotus plinth, set above a stepped base. He is dressed in gracefully draped robes and wears a tall crown bearing a minuscule figure of Amida, the Buddha of Infinite Light. He has a serene expression of calm and holds his right hand in the abhaya mudra, a gesture of comfort, blessing, and protection. Backed by a magnificent leaf-form nimbus, this Kannon figure...
