| Description |
The bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara (Kannon in Japanese) stands with each of his feet upon a lotus blossom. The Buddha Amitabha (Amida in Japanese) appears in his headdress. The text written in golden characters attached to the top of the painting is a portion of a religious text extolling the virtues of the bodhisattva. The painter was inspired by Korean Goreyo period (918-1392) Buddhist paintings; he attempted to reproduce the diaphanous shawl sometimes seen in such early works. |
