EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the "Seated Miroku Bosatsu" sculpture, a remarkable work of art from 13th century Japan. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this polychromed wood masterpiece is adorned with crystal, metal, and delicate gold leaf accents. The serene expression on the face of Miroku Bosatsu exudes tranquility and inner peace. With closed eyes and a contemplative posture, this deity represents Maitreya - the future Buddha in Buddhist eschatology. In some Buddhist scriptures, he is also known as Ajita. Every element of this sculpture reflects its spiritual significance. The intricate carving on the wooden base adds depth and dimension to the artwork while decorative inlays enhance its ornate nature. The lotus decoration symbolizes purity and enlightenment. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but be drawn into a state of meditation yourself. The calmness emanating from Seated Miroku Bosatsu transcends time and space, inviting viewers to connect with their own inner selves. Now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, this piece was acquired through the John R. Van Derlip Fund after being purchased from Elizabeth and Willard Clark's collection. Through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing every intricate detail, we are able to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this sculpture but also its profound spiritual significance within Japanese Buddhism.
