Description:
A Japanese gilt wood Amida Buddha, finely carved, standing on an elaborate lotus flower base, Meiji period, Amida is one of the loftiest savior figures in Japanese Buddhism, and Amida faith is concerned primarily with the life to come, the life in the beyond. To followers of Japan's pure Land sects, Amida has eclipsed the historical Buddha as the most popular divinity in Japan's Mahayana traditions. Amida appears with great frequency in Japanese religious painting and statuary. Provenance: Todd Barlin collection. 43 cm
