About the Item

This is a small stone statue believed to have been made in Japan during the Edo period. It was placed at crossroads, village entrances, or along mountain paths to pray for the safety of travelers, or enshrined in village shrines or homes to protect the lives of the people. The fact that traces of its original coloring remain suggests that it was likely kept in a shrine with a roof or inside a house, where it was carefully preserved. This stone Buddha was probably not carved by a professional stonemason, but by a local craftsman, monk, or artisan from a rural area or small town. This gives it a simple and warm presence that is truly charming. It is compact enough to be held in one hand (weighing 0.95 kg) and is in excellent condition. The soft red and black painted lines still visible on its surface reflect the faith and culture of the people of that time. Thanks to its small size, you could place it on a shelf in your home or display it as a protective talisman by your entrance or under the eaves. It can stand on its own, but since the bottom is a bit unstable, we recommend using felt pads or similar supports to make it more secure. Stone statues of this kind—small, with traces of color still visible—are extremely rare today. This is a heartwarming piece that lets you feel the prayerful spirit of the people of Japan’s bygone days. Item number: SH118 [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.]
