Small stone Buddha made in the Edo period in Japan/18th to 19th century

About the Item

This small stone Buddha dates back to the Edo period (around 1603–1868), and the moss and weathering on the surface of the stone quietly tell the story of time’s passage. Made from stone with a rich natural texture, it was hand-carved by the skilled hands of ancient Japanese artisans. This stone Buddha represents Jizo Bosatsu, a revered figure in Buddhism. Jizo Bosatsu is known for his compassion, protecting people from hardships and disasters, particularly children and travelers. In Japan, Jizo has long been a beloved figure, often depicted as a monk with a shaved head, offering a gentle expression that exudes warmth and comfort to all. The expression of this Jizo Bosatsu is soft and gentle, giving it an approachable and endearing character rather than a highly detailed, realistic portrayal. His small hands are pressed together in prayer at his chest, a posture that brings peace and warmth to the viewer, naturally evoking a smile with its tenderness. The mossy texture, which suggests the statue has been placed outdoors for many years, further enhances the nostalgic charm of this piece. Its natural, serene presence makes it a perfect addition to modern interiors. Placing it in an entryway or living room will fill the space with a peaceful, harmonious atmosphere. Please note that due to being stored indoors in our shop, the moss may appear different from the photos, with possible discoloration or changes in texture due to drying or aging. With compact dimensions (21 cm wide, 15 cm deep, 32 cm tall), it is easy to display in various locations. However, because of its slightly unstable base, we recommend using small stones or wooden pieces to secure it in place when setting it up. This stone Buddha, with its texture that cannot be replicated in modern times, its beautiful design in harmony with nature, and its quiet presence, adds a sense of peace and charm to any living space. Though small, it will bring a calming, enriching presence to your home. Weight: 10.45kg
