About the Item

This rare antique Japanese Amida Buddha statue is an exceptional example of 18th-century Japanese Buddhist sculpture, originating from Japan and dating to the Edo period. Monumental in scale, the complete composition measures 116 cm high, 55 cm wide, and 49 cm deep, while the Buddha figure itself stands 47 cm high, creating a magnificent and harmonious ensemble. Hand-carved from wood and richly gilded with 24-carat gold, the statue represents Amida Buddha, one of the most revered figures in Japanese Buddhism. Amida Buddha symbolizes infinite compassion and wisdom and is venerated as the savior who guides beings toward rebirth in the Pure Land. The Buddha is depicted in the Vitarka mudra, the gesture of teaching and intellectual discussion, symbolizing the transmission of wisdom and the profound truths of the Dharma. One of the most remarkable features of this sculpture is its exceptionally beautiful mandorla, the radiant halo surrounding the figure, which enhances its spiritual grandeur and artistic refinement. Dating from the 18th century, during the flourishing Edo period, the sculpture reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship and aesthetic sophistication of Japanese Buddhist art. The rich gilding, elegant proportions, and refined details contribute to its serene and majestic presence. The statue comes with distinguished provenance from a French private collection and is noted to be in very good condition, adding further to its desirability and historical significance. Rare in both quality and scale, this outstanding Amida Buddha is a remarkable acquisition for collectors of Japanese Buddhist art, museums, and connoisseurs seeking a museum-quality work of exceptional beauty and spiritual presence. Combining historical importance, artistic excellence, and devotional significance, it stands as a superb testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese sacred sculpture.
