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?
