About the Item

From our recent Japanese acquisitions Good garden and collector choice from nearly 225 Years Ago. Antique Japanese Stone Folk Deity Roadside Guardian Figure dated Bunka 10 Edo Period , 1813 This is an antique Japanese stone folk deity figure dating to the late Edo period. The inscription on the stone includes “Bunka 10”, corresponding to 1813. The figure is carved on a natural stone slab with a pointed upper form, similar to a traditional Japanese roadside stone monument. Unlike typical Jizo, Kannon, Bato Kannon, or Koshin stone figures however, this image has a distinctive head form resembling an eboshi or court-style headwear. The clothing also has a formal, older Japanese appearance, with the lower garment rising in a hook-like shape. Because of these features, this piece may be related to a Shinto deity, roadside guardian, or possibly a deity figure connected with older syncretic folk belief. However, what makes this sculpture special is this style suggests a rare and unusual Japanese stone deity rather than a standard Buddhist stone figure. An attractive and unusual work of art, it possesses an original aged surface with natural weathering from appropriate age. Dimensions: Height: 12.50 inches Width: 8.5 inches Depth: 4 inches Weight: 8.75 kg / 19.29 lbs An unusual Japanese standing Jizo - guardian hero of mankind- her hands forming mudra of adoration "gasso" and dates 1813 to the middle Edo period. Jizo Bosatsu is one of the most beloved of all Japanese divinities. Jizo in addition to being a protector of children and travelers ,works to ease the suffering and to answer the prayers of the living for health, success and all manner of mundane petitions. Remarkable quality, an excellent indoor or outdoor garden sculptural choice with a sublime genuine spiritual aura. This is special one. History of Jizo: Jizo Bosatsu is one of the most beloved of all Japanese divinities, Jizo works to ease the suffering and to answer the prayers of the living for health, success, children, and all manner of mundane petitions. In modern Japan, Jizo is a savior par excellence, a friend to all. He is notably a protector of travelers and children. Lifetime guarantee of authenticity.
