A FINE AND LARGE BRONZE FIGURE OF JIZO BOSATSU, 18TH CENTURY

Japan, 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Cast standing on a double-lotus waisted plinth, the left hand holding an oju (treasure jewel), and the right lowered in yogan-in (varada mudra), wearing a robe open at the chest and falling in elegant pleats, the face bearing a serene expression with heavy-lidded eyes, gently arched brows, and a raised urna, flanked by pierced pendulous earlobes, backed by a circular nimbus decorated to the back with tsuta mon of the Matsunaga clan. The verso with a hinged door, secured with a clasp, and opening to a hollow compartment to house relics.

The back inscribed Kyo Iwagami ju, yasho, Kondo Seisaburo, Hisashi Saku [Made by the master blacksmith Kondo Seisaburo, given name Saku, resident at Iwagami, Kyoto].

HEIGHT 59 cm (the figure) and 87 cm (total)
WEIGHT 22.8 kg

Condition: Good condition with wear and casting irregularities, few nicks, light scratches, minor losses. The nimbus with minor repairs and some loose strings. The hinge and clasp probably added later.

Jizo is a bodhisattva in the guise of a monk wearing a kesa, or patchwork surplice, and holding a monk's staff and a sacred jewel. Standing on a lotus pedestal, he has descended to earth to "mingle with the dust," or enter the hells to exchange place with sinners. The cult of Jizo as a savior and an advocate for the sinner in hell became central to Japanese Buddhism in the Kamakura period. Functioning like a priest, he serves as a guide of the dead through the intermediate state and on to birth in the Pure Land of Amida Buddha. In popular religion, Jizo is also linked with indigenous cults of fertility and childbirth.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related bronze figure of Jizo Bosatsu, dated to the 18th century, formerly in the collection of Charles Cartier-Bresson and now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nancy.
