From our recent Japanese Acquisitions

Imagine this wonderful antique stone sculpture in your garden–a warm and lovely example seated in a quiet, relaxing pose- she may be seen as in a solemn act of thinking about mankind and contemplating how to save our people.

This attractive serene and contemplative Japanese 18th century stone seated Buddha or kanon known as “Nyoi-rin-kanon” grants your wishes and removes all suffering. It’s a remarkable buddhist sculptural survivor and solidly dates to the middle Edo period, 18th century.

This is a very beautiful and feminine sculpture expertly carved in a pleasing timeless style.

An excellent garden or indoor sculptural choice with a genuine spiritual presence.

“I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in or on the most beautiful building I know…. Sculpture is an art of the open air, and sunlight is necessary to it. It should smile at you and create fantasy.”
