Japanese Small Antique Wood Carving Buddha / 1600-1750 / Bodhisattva
Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
It is a wooden Buddha statue made in Japan from the 1600s to the 1750s. It is from the Edo period. It is a type of Buddha statue called Bodhisattva, and it is a Buddha who will save you immediately when people in the world ask for salvation. Although small, the expression is very beautiful and it is carefully carved. Perhaps this small-sized Buddha statue was cherished at a small shrine or dedicated to a temple. It is darkened by oil smoke. It won't stick to your hands. Also, the hand part of the Buddha statue is missing. Sculptures are often rough in the late Edo period after the 19th century. However, although this is a small Buddha statue...
