About the Item

This exquisite Meiji period Japanese bronze statue, attributed to Miyao, of Benkei holding a Koro, showcases remarkable craftsmanship and intricate detailing. Standing majestically on a beautifully carved wooden base, the statue features the robust figure supporting a richly adorned Koro, complete with dragon motifs and symbolic elements. The bronze is elegantly patinated, enhancing its historical charm. The figure's expressive face, adorned with fine decorations, reflects the artistry of the era. Each element, from the intricate carvings of the base to the ornate details of the urn, tells a story of Japanese culture and artistry during the Meiji period, a time of significant artistic evolution.

Japanese Lacquered and Gilt Wood Buddhism Statue from Edo Period
Located in Atlanta, GA
An exceptional and wood statue of Buddhism Guardian Seitaka Doji from Japan circa Edo period (1603-1868), likely the earlier part of 17th century.

Seitaka largely adheres to the iconography of a wrathful youth with fleshy body and face, skin in the color of a red lotus, has his hair tied in five knots, and holds a vajra in his left hand and a vajra-club in his right hand, but the actual artistic representations of him in Japan do...
