Visible wear, patina, and minor discoloration consistent with age. Some surface wear and darkening inside the zushi doors. No major structural damage observed. ─────── This Japanese tabletop Buddhist shrine (zushi) houses a finely carved wooden figure of Amida Nyorai (阿弥陀如来). The figure stands on a lotus pedestal, symbolizing purity and enlightenment, with a radiant halo extending behind the head. The calm facial expression and softly draped robes reflect the compassionate presence associated with Amida Buddha. The zushi appears to be made of lacquered wood, a traditional Japanese technique, and features a richly finished gold-toned interior, possibly gold leaf, enhancing the sacred atmosphere when the doors are opened. Amida Nyorai is one of the most widely venerated figures in Japanese Buddhism, associated with salvation and rebirth in the Pure Land. The doors of the zushi can be opened to reveal the figure, allowing the piece to function both as a devotional object and as a refined display object. A well-balanced example of Japanese religious art, combining wood carving, lacquer craftsmanship, and gold-toned finishing. ─────── Included: • Carved wooden statue of Amida Nyorai (阿弥陀如来) with gilt finish • Lacquered wooden zushi (厨子, portable shrine) ─────── Dimensions: 【Statue】 height: approx. 27 cm width: approx. 10 cm depth: approx. 7 cm 【Zushi】 height: approx. 37 cm width: approx. 16 cm depth: approx. 13 cm Weight: approx. 1.2 kg ─────── Shipping • Carefully packed and shipped with tracking. • International shipping via Yamato Transport or Japan Post (EMS). • Import duties, taxes, VAT and any other charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
