WOW !!! STUNNING VINTAGE BRONZE STATUE OF A AMIDA BUDDHA KAMAKURA ON A WOODEN BASE - PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BASE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DRILLED FOR A LAMP AT SOME POINT , HOWEVER THE BRONZE STATUE COVERS THE HOLES

 Buddhism during the late Heian period (897–1185) was characterized by the marked increase in the worship of Amida Buddha and his Western Pure Land Paradise, which became even more widespread during the Kamakura period (1185–1333). The belief of practitioners in this esoteric Buddhist sect is that ritual invocation of Amida’s name was sufficient to gain admittance into his Western Paradise. Numerous temples were consecrated and filled with images of Amida Buddha. 


The most spectacular example, in Kamakura, features a monumental bronze image of Amida Buddha, dated 1252. Seated in meditation, his face is treated geometrically and is framed by ears with extended earlobes and hair in spirals, and he wears a monastic robe carefully placed to reveal his lightly modeled chest—all features found on this Amida Buddha. This figure also shares the same plasticity, its solidity reinforced by its seated position. The cascading robe that covers his lower body, the breadth of his torso, and the rounded geometry of his face all give this representation a real presence, tempered by the almost abstract drapery.
