A POLYCHROME WOOD FIGURE OF INDARA TAISHO (SNAKE GENERAL), LATE MUROMACHI TO EDO

Japan, 16th-17th century, late Muromachi period (1336-1573) to early Edo period (1615-1868)

Stading in a dynamic pose atop a naturalistically carved rock ground supported by a gilt tiered base with one hand raised, shielding his eyes, the other sweeping back behind him grasping what was once a hatchet, mid stride. The heavenly general wearing a tiger and leopard skin and heavy armor finely painted with polychrome pigments and gilt with his robes sweeping out as the wind furiously blows the hair and draping sleeves upwards. His face bears a fierce expression with furrowed brows, mouth opened, his eyes of gilt and black lacquer with a transparent rock crystal overlay, with a gilt tiara below a snake head protruding from his upright hair.

HEIGHT 50.1 cm

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, expected age cracks, minor losses to pigments, some flaking, few losses. Generally presenting well.
Provenance: From a French private collection.

The Twelve Heavenly Generals, also known as Juni Shinsho, are the protective deities of Yakushi (Bhaisajyaguru in Sanskrit) and his followers; Bhaisjyaguru is the buddha of healing and medicine in Mahāyāna Buddhism. Each of the Twelve Divine Generals embodies a vow taken by Yakushi to heal ailments of the body and mind. Responsible for protecting the faithful and vanquishing the enemies of Buddhism, they are depicted with ferocious countenances, wearing armor, and standing in fighting poses. In ancient times they became associated with the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac and were often the subject of sculptures during the Heian and Kamakura periods. It is believed that sculptures of the Heavenly Generals were enshrined in temples, since several in the Tokyo National Museum are believed to be from the Joruri-ji temple of the school of Pure Land Buddhism in Kizugawa, Kyoto prefecture. Many of these sculptures were votive offerings made by a nobleman, and many sculptors of these figures belonged to the famous Kei school of Buddhist sculpture that emerged in the early Kamakura period.
