This exquisite gilt-lacquered figure of Buddha Amida dates back to the early Edo period of Japan, specifically the 17th century. Standing at 40.2 cm in height, this statue is crafted from wood and adorned with 24-karat gold, showcasing the artistic mastery of its era. Buddha Amida, also known as Amitabha, is a significant figure in Pure Land Buddhism, recognized as the Buddha of Infinite Light and Boundless Life, symbolizing compassion and the promise of salvation.

The statue’s serene expression and detailed drapery reflect the aesthetics prevalent during the Edo period, a time marked by cultural flourishing and an emphasis on both religious and artistic expression. The elegant lines of the robe and the gentle positioning of the hands embody tranquility and meditative contemplation, inviting viewers to engage in reflection and peace.

Originating from Japan, this piece not only serves as a spiritual emblem but also as a historical artifact that captures the essence of Japanese Buddhist art. The Edo period was characterized by a rich tapestry of innovations and traditions, making this statue a remarkable example of the craftsmanship and religious devotion of its time. Weighing 1.8 kg and measuring 33 cm in width and 28.3 cm in depth, this figure is a striking addition to any collection or a profound piece for personal meditation.
