In Pure Land Buddhism, Amida is the principal deity who presides over the Western Paradise, welcoming devotees who recite “Namu Amida Butsu” to attain rebirth in the Pure Land, a realm of peace and limitless life. An inscription on the reverse of the figure states that it was consecrated on Mount Ichijusan by the 24th-generation officiant. It also includes the devotional phrase Namu Amida Butsu and records the name of the officiant who performed the consecration ritual. A red seal is present on the underside. The altar cabinet (zushi) features a black lacquer exterior and black lacquer floor, while the interior walls and doors are coated in lacquer mixed with gold powder. The Buddha stands on a lotus pedestal, with only the central support for the missing halo remaining. Age-related wear is present, including the loss of the left thumb, natural darkening of the wood, and the missing halo.
