Mag men het zien?
Amsterdam, Nederland
De eigenaar is bekend; of het werk nu te zien is, is onbekend.
Jizo is a saviour of souls. He is a bodhisattva, an enlightened being who delays his own redemption to help mankind. The gentle face is stylized, but the posture of the body displays a certain realism, with some tension in the shoulder of the raised left arm. This animating effect
appeared in Japanese sculpture by 1200.
