Japanese antique wooden very small Buddha statue/Edo/circa 18th century

About the Item

This is a wooden Buddha statue made during the Edo period in Japan. It is made in a very small size and fits in the palm of your hand. Basically, it is designed to be carried while traveling. It is like a talisman used to pray for safety. In Japan, this kind of thing is called "Nenji-butsu". ``Nenji'' = to make a wish. "Butsu" = Buddha statue. This Buddha statue is placed in a capsule called ``Zushi''. It is painted with black lacquer and has gold leaf on the inside. On the outside door, the name of the temple is written on the right and the words ``Carved using old wood'' are written on the left. It is thought that it was probably carved using some of the building materials used in the temple. Although it is very old, it is in good condition overall and the Buddha statue itself is also well preserved. However, there was a hole in the right hand that probably had something inserted into it, but that something is missing. The decoration on the back is made of copper plate. The name of the main body is 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva. It is called the 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva because 10 small Buddha faces are carved into the crown of its head, and there are 11 faces in total including the face of the main body. If you count this too, there are 11 sides. It has very detailed carving techniques. Items in good condition are difficult to obtain. This is a rare item. Although it is small, it is a Buddha statue with a very strong presence. it's recommended. I also want as many people as possible to know the quality of antiques, so I keep my prices reasonable.

Japanese antique small Jizo stone Buddha / 1700-1850 / Edo period /Garden object

Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba

This is a small stone statue believed to have been made in Japan during the mid to late Edo period (18th to 19th century). The figure represents "Jizo Bosatsu" (Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva), one of the revered bodhisattvas in the Buddhist tradition. Jizo is a figure of infinite compassion, believed to save all sentient beings from suffering. He is typically depicted as a gentle monk, with a shaved head and wearing a long robe known as kesa. He often holds a staff in his right hand and a hoju (wish-fulfilling jewel) in his left—symbols of his power to guide souls and grant comfort. This particular Jizo statue...
