Wooden Buddha statues from the Edo period in Japan/1800-1868/Late Edo period

About the Item

This wooden Buddhist statue was made in the late to late Edo period. It is thought to be a statue of Kannon Bodhisattva. It was originally placed in a shrine and was painted, but these were lost and it is now in its current form. It is rare that all existing Buddhist statues are in good condition, and many are slightly damaged or in this state. However, it conveys the feelings of our ancestors who wanted to preserve at least the main body. The material is thought to be cypress. The front of the body is painted with a white pigment called gofun, which is mainly made of shells, and then colored on top of that. However, when looking at Buddhist statues from the Edo period, the adhesion between this gofun and the coloring is weak, and in many cases the coloring peels off and the gofun also peels off at the same time. This Buddha statue is thought to be a similar case. However, the carving techniques for Buddhist statues were relatively skilled, and it is thought that it was carved by a sculptor who had studied Buddhist statue carving techniques. As an aside, Nikko Toshogu Shrine was built at the beginning of the Edo period to worship the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu. At that time, many Buddhist sculptors were called from all over the country to work on temples and Buddhist statues. After that, many temples were built in Edo, and many Buddhist sculptors were involved in the production of Buddhist statues for those temples. These Buddhist sculptors continued to have many disciples in Edo, and passed on their techniques. This Kannon Bodhisattva has a beautiful face, and looking at it calms the mind. Although the hands are missing, the entire face and torso remain, so it is a Buddhist statue that you can enjoy looking at. It is not a large Buddha statue, so it can be displayed in the living room, collection room, entrance, etc. Why not place an item that gives you a glimpse of a part of Japanese history?

Japanese Lacquered and Gilt Wood Buddhism Statue from Edo Period

Located in Atlanta, GA

An exceptional and wood statue of Buddhism Guardian Seitaka Doji from Japan circa Edo period (1603-1868), likely the earlier part of 17th century. One of two chief attendants of Fudou Myouou (the other being Kongara Doji), the name of Seitaka Doji is a transliteration of Sanskrit "Cetaka", meaning servant, slave, and he is said to personify expedient action. He is most commonly found on the right side of Fudou, together with Kongara Doji on the left, forming the Immovable triad, Fudou Sanzon, the terror of evil doers. Seitaka largely adheres to the iconography of a wrathful youth with fleshy body and face, skin in the color of a red lotus, has his hair tied in five knots, and holds a vajra in his left hand and a vajra-club in his right hand, but the actual artistic representations of him in Japan do...
