Antique Japanese Buddhist Painting Set - Benzaiten & Bonten Deities - Hand-Painted 【Description 】 Up for auction is a rare and authentic antique Japanese hand-painted (Nikuhitsu) artwork, consisting of two complementary pieces depicting traditional Buddhist and Shinto deities. The top piece beautifully portrays two significant deities: "Benzaiten" (the goddess of music, arts, and knowledge) playing a traditional Biwa lute, and "Bonten" (Brahma) holding a ritual implement. The bottom piece depicts a sacred shrine scene featuring a pair of "A-un Komainu" (guardian lions/dogs) and red and white "Shinme" (sacred horses). This is a genuine hand-painted piece, not a print, offering a profound glimpse into Japanese religious art history. Approximate Dimensions: Top piece: approx. 26 cm x 38 cm Bottom piece: approx. 22 cm x 38 cm Condition: Fair antique condition. As a genuine old painting, it shows clear signs of age and historical wear.
