拍品描述
A GILT-LACQUERED WOOD FIGURE OF AMIDA NYORAI

Japan, 19th century. Seated in dhyanasana, the hands lowered in mido no join, dressed in loose-fitting robes opening at the chest and cascading in voluminous folds. The face with a serene expression, heavy-lidded downcast eyes below gently arched eyebrows centered by a raised circular byakugo (urna), the hair arranged in tight curls over a domed ushnisha with a central jewel.

Provenance: From a Hungarian private collection.
Condition: Restored breakages to head and shoulder, wear, few chips, small losses, and flaking to lacquer.

Weight: 3.5 kg
Dimensions: Height 31.5 cm

The sculpture represents Amitabha, known in Japanese as Amida Nyorai, or the Buddha of Limitless Light. The downcast gaze directed towards the onlooker below is emblematic of the infinite compassion of which his name is synonymous. 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 or ‘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.
