About the Item

Japanese statue of Datsue-ba also known as Shozuka no Baba, Kamakura- Muromachi period. Antique Japanese statue of Datsue-ba or Shozuka no Baba, Kamakura-Muromachi period, circa 14th century. The figure is carved of Hinoke (Cypress) and layers of gesso which have created the surface over which polychrome colors were applied. Some of the polychrome colors depicting the clothing are still visible. “One may argue that Datsueba is not only a demon who strips sinners of their garments (or skins). She is also a goddess, one who bestows humans with their skin coverings at the time of their birth. She can thus be seen as a goddess of life and a demon of death, one who both gives and takes away the skin that covers the human body” (Kawamura Kunimitsu - quote from the Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies).

Rare Japanese antique wooden god statue /12th century/small wabi-sabi figurines

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

I was able to obtain a very rare item. This is a sculpture of the god ``Shinzo''. "Shin" = God "zo" = statue Since ancient times in Japan, it has been believed that gods reside in all things in the universe, and there have been many shrines. In the 6th century, Buddhism was introduced and gradually spread throughout Japan. Around the 8th century, the idea that gods follow the teachings of Buddha spread. Until the Edo period, God and Buddha became one and the idea of ``Shinto and Buddhism syncretism'' was established. This statue was created during such a history. Originally, the image of God was invisible and could not be understood as something tangible. However, with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan, idol worship was also introduced, and the idea that the gods follow the teachings of Buddha was also propagated at the same time in order to spread the teachings of Buddhism.
