About the Item

A wonderful, gem of a piece. The piece has a beautiful feel and heft to it. The laughing or jolly Buddha is known in China as Budai or Putai, Bodai in Vietnamese, and Hotei in Japanese, and are best known for their cheerful nature and good spirits. This piece, along with a few others we are listing, was acquired from a collection of Indian and Asian Buddhas and other religious and ancestral figures. We are listing it as 18th-19th century but could very likely be older. Would make for a nice addition to any Asian art or artifacts collection or a very eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Dimensions: 4" high, 4.25" wide, 2.5" deep.

Carved Gilt Wood Seated Japanese Asian Edo Buddha Amida Nyorai Sculpture Statue

Located in Studio City, CA

A truly beautiful and supremely serene Japanese Amida Nyorai Buddha. A magnificent work. Meticulously hand carved in such fine and amazing detail (see hands and flowing robes). Gilded throughout. Seated with narrowed eyes in deep meditation and hands in Buddhist Abhaya Mudra position offering a blessing of protection, reassurance, peace, and benevolence. This hand position, also known as the "fear not" gesture, was achieved by Buddha immediately following his enlightenment. This work is from the late Edo period, (1603-1868)/ early Meiji period (1868-1912). From a California collection. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese or Asian artifacts/buddha collection or eye-catching stand-alone accent work in about any setting. One of the best Japanese Buddha sculptures...
