A GILT LACQUER WOOD FIGURE OF AMIDA NYORAI, EDO PERIOD

Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The Amitabha Buddha standing on a separately carved lotus dais fitted to an elaborate tiered plinth with pierced mid-section. The right hand raised in the Semui or Vitarka gesture, the left lowered in the Yogan or Varada mudra. He is wearing a loose-fitting robe cascading in voluminous folds and opening at the chest. His serene face with heavy-lidded eyes below gently arched eyebrows centered by an inlaid byakugo (urna) and full lips, flanked by long pendulous pierced earlobes. The hair arranged in tight curls and surmounted by an ushnisha with a further inlay. The separately carved kohai (aureole) with swirling clouds and a central stylized floral sun design.

HEIGHT (the figure) 42.3 cm and (total) 66 cm

Condition: Good condition with old wear, natural age cracks, few losses, minor flaking to lacquer, small chips, old repairs, one part of the left sleeve slightly loose. The kohai is associated and affixed to the figure.

The sculpture represents Amitabha, known in Japanese as Amida Nyorai, or the Buddha of Limitless Light. Amitabha reigns over the Western Pure Land, a paradise to which anyone is welcomed if they faithfully and sincerely incant his name. This place of salvation became central to the Jodo [lit. Pure Land] sect of Buddhism. Propounded in 1175 by the monk Honen, the accessibility of such tenets of redemption allowed this form of Buddhism to proliferate across the nation and feudal classes of Japan. Often depicted with an elaborate mandala, the boat-shaped halo is said to remind his followers that he serves as a guide for them to cross the ocean of suffering which contaminates the living.
