AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Japan's travel shrine (zushi / butsudan) with Amida Buddha, Late Edo period.
A distinctive Japanese travel shrine (butsudan / zushi) crafted in wood with a black lacquer finish on the outside and a richly gilded interior. The cabinet served as a portable home altar for personal devotion and prayer.
Inside there is a statue of Amida Buddha. Amida (Amitābha) is one of the most important Buddhas in Japanese Pure Land Buddhism (Jōdo) and stands as a symbol of compassion and the vow of rebirth in the Pure Land.
The contrast between the black lacquer on the outside and the gold-colored interior gives the altar a warm and spiritual appearance, while the Amida image endows the whole with strong religious significance.
Period: Late Edo
Dimensions: H34 x W11 x D8 cm
Material: wood, lacquer, gilded.
Condition: Reasonable condition with signs of use and aging appropriate to its age.
Shipping: The lot will be carefully packaged and insured for shipment.
