Buddha Statue ShakaNyorai Mid Century Buddhism Japanese Golden Splendor
DETAILS OF ITEM
This Buddha measures 10 inches high to the point of the mandorla.
The statue is placing both hands in his lap, right on top of left, with palms turned upward and thumbs touching to form a circle. This is a type of hand gesture called Meditation Mudara and it is often associated with Shaka Nyorai in Japanese Buddhism.
Buddhism originated in Northern India where the Historical Buddha (Prince Siddhartha, later Gautama Buddha), was born and lived in the sixth century BC. When Buddhism arrived in Japan in the 6th and 7th centuries AD via Korea and China, Siddhartha became known in Japan as Shaka or Shakamuni, which means \"Sage of the Shaka Clan\" (his actual birth clan). In Japan, Shaka Nyorai (translated as Shaka Tathagata or Shaka Buddha) is venerated widely among most Buddhist sects.
The condition is very good and its age is from 1910 to 1920.
