About the Item

This is a so-called hanging Buddha. (Called Kakebutsu in Japan) Kakebutsu is a combination of a circular plate and a Buddha statue, which was hung in shrines and temples. It can be said to be one of the genres of Japanese cultural properties. This hanging Buddha is believed to date from the 14th to 16th centuries. It is from the Muromachi period, which is older than the Edo period. It was originally gold, but has faded to a copper color that has turned black. In addition, the disk is not from the period when Buddha statues were made, but is thought to have been made from the latter half of the Muromachi period to the Edo period. The name of the Buddha statue is "Nyorai". The highest rank among Buddhas. A Buddha who awakened to the truth and attained enlightenment. The size of this Nyorai is w8cm and h14cm. A thin copper plate is beaten according to the mold, the shape is formed, and the lines of the clothes and the pattern of the lotus pedestal are finely beaten with a chisel. The disk is also very beautiful, and the beautiful lotus pattern is carefully carved. In addition, since a similar product was published in the art book, the photograph is posted as a reference material. The remaining plating is also a rarity, and the disc is beautiful and elegant. It is a fairly rare item. Few stores in 1stdibs carry such items. We sell with confidence. Also, I want many people to know the goodness of antiques, so I set the price reasonably.
