About the Item
Exquisite museum-quality Japanese contemporary signed decorative porcelain vase, stunningly hand-painted on an elegant rectangular body in vivid hues of purple, red and gray, with a unique interpretation of rhinoceros. The highly acclaimed award-winning master artist has drawn on various animals featured in Buddhist scriptures and religious practice to make his lifework the re-creation of a “Buddhist menagerie.” This piece is inspired by the Rhinoceros Sutra, a very early Buddhist text that extols the virtues of solitary and ascetic life as exemplified by the rhinoceros. The artist's profile is available upon request.
In the artist’s rendition, the rhinoceros looks skyward with humanlike eyes that convey an eerie sense of self-awareness. Depicted in this extraordinary piece are the single-horned Indian rhinoceros with thickly folded skin that gives them its exaggerated armored appearance. The stubby legs and wart-like bumps that cover the body are also characteristic features of this species.
Having started his career in the venerable tradition of old Kutani porcelain, the artist faithfully draws on at least one of the prime Kutani colors of yellow, green, red, blue and purple in each of his work.
The sheer size, the magnificent signature shape, the unique signature interepretation of rhinoceros Sutra and the artist's awe-inspiring signature colors, make this a memorable piece and invites the viewer to explore the details of this magnificent piece.
This mesmerizing decorative porcelain vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.
Dimensions: W 19.5 in H 10.5 in D 6.5 in
A few lines from the first part of the Rhinoceros Sutra (Khaggavisana Sutta) follow.
Renouncing violence for all living beings, harming not even a one. Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
In society, there are allurements, and on the heel of allurements, pain… Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
Like a bamboo sprout be un-entangled. Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
As a deer in the wilds, unfettered, forages wherever it wants, the wise person values freedom.
Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
(Adopted from translation from Pali by Thanissaro Bhikku).
