About the Item

This is a small stone Buddha statue created in Japan between the end of the Edo period and the Taisho period. Carved from a solid granite-like stone, it retains the image of the Buddha's hands clasped in prayer, the pleated folds of his robes, and his serene expression, even after so many years. While it has undergone natural weathering over the years, this only adds to its unique character and enhances the tranquility of prayer. At approximately 20 cm tall and weighing approximately 3 kg, it exudes a simple charm. Placing it discreetly next to a garden stone or lantern will blend in with the moss-covered scenery and create a dignified, Japanese atmosphere. Bringing it indoors, displaying it in a corner of a tokonoma alcove, entryway, or on a shelf will add a sense of calm and tranquility to any space. It also makes a striking statement when placed directly on tatami or flooring, and blends surprisingly well with modern interiors. There is a small chip on the bottom, causing some wobble, but it can be secured by inserting a piece of wood or rubber sheeting. Also, while the green of the moss appears slightly emphasized in the photo, the actual statue has a more subdued, natural hue. There is a video available, which may give you a better sense of the actual color. Please note that due to outdoor storage, the texture of the moss on the surface may change. If this occurs, we will send you a photo before purchasing. This is a recommended item for those who wish to create a prayer space in their garden or bring a tranquil atmosphere indoors. This small, yet time-honored stone Buddha statue will accompany you in your daily life and instill a sense of quiet security. Size: W 16cm x D 10.3cm x H 20cm Weight: 3.05kg ItemNumber: SC136 [Our Social Role] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin. Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations. Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated. Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.

Chinese Stone Seated Shakyamuni Buddha Stele, c. 1850

Located in Chicago, IL

This carved stone stele depicts the historical Buddha, known also as Shaka, Shakyamuni, or Siddhartha Gautama. Seated in perpetual meditation, the Buddha embodies virtues of wisdom and composure. Hand-carved of limestone in the style of Northern Wei (386-535) statuary, the Buddha is depicted upon a lotus plinth with legs crossed in lotus position. His hands are held downwards in bhumisparsha mudra, a gesture representing the moment that the Buddha claimed the earth as witness to his awakening. The Buddha has a peaceful, benevolent expression and is framed by a halo of concentric circles. His figure is surrounded by attendant bodhisattvas, carved in relief on the curved stele behind and platform below. Leafy tree branches add a naturalistic touch to the background, wrapping around to the back of the stele to form a canopy above a second, smaller Buddha...
