| Title |
Nikko, the Sun Bodhisattva |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
With its enigmatic gaze Nikko, the Sun Bodhisattva, seems to radiate compassion. The flowing robes and curving posture might have been influenced by Chinese Buddhist sculpture; however, the interplay of the wood grain in this single block of yew, with the artist's subtle carving, is a Japanese innovation. Originally paired with the Moon Bodhisattva, this figure likely flanked a sculpture of Yakushi Nyorai, the Healing Buddha. |
