Seated Great Buddha statue in a shrine - Made between the Edo and Meiji periods, approximately - Statue Wood - Japan

This seated Great Buddha statue in a shrine was created some 150 to 200 years ago, between the Edo and Meiji periods.
Its serene expression is striking.
The entire statue has been carefully crafted, from the head, face, robe, and pedestal.
The design and color of the robe in particular are excellent.
The Great Buddha is attached to the shrine.

It is a relatively large Buddha statue, but I feel it is refined in its construction.

The mole-like spot on the Great Buddha's forehead is called "Byakugo Byakugo."
Incidentally, the Great Buddha's head is called "Rahotsu."

Byakugo
Meaning: Long, curly white hair in the center of the forehead.
Role: The light emanating from it symbolizes the "power of the Buddha" to illuminate the world and find those in suffering.

Rahotsu
Meaning: Hair twisted like a conch shell on the head of a Buddha statue.
Function: Represents the profound wisdom of the enlightened Buddha and his transcendence as a being beyond human.

Shakyamuni Buddha and Shakyamuni Tathagata are both terms referring to Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, and there is no essential difference between them.

Shakyamuni Buddha statues represent Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. Shakyamuni Buddha is generally depicted with a calm, contemplative expression, symbolizing the moment of enlightenment.

Shakyamuni Buddha (also known as Siddhartha Gautama) is said to have been born approximately 2,500 years ago in the area of ​​present-day Nepal and India. After attaining enlightenment through ascetic practices, he founded Buddhism. This seated statue captures a key moment in his life and the posture he assumed at the time of enlightenment. Devotees use such statues as objects of meditation and prayer, expressing their reverence for the Buddha's teachings.
