- Description
- Kannon Bosatsu meditates in a lotus-adorned shrine flanked by other devotees. Followers would recognize the lotus as the vehicle Kannon employs to transport the deceased to the Amida Buddha's Western Paradise, where people are released from the suffering of life in this world. Pure Land Buddhism, popular during Japan's Kamakura period (1185-1333), teaches that all beings can escape the endless cycle of death and rebirth through faith in Amida Buddha. An ivory Buddhist shrine with two doors and small Buddha image within. An ivory carving of a man with a pole, basket, frog, and flowers.
