Samantabhadra, also known as Fugen Bosatsu, is a prominent figure in Buddhist art and iconography. This Bodhisattva represents great virtue and is often depicted alongside other important figures in Buddhism. One such depiction can be found in the Muromachi Period artwork titled "Fugen. " Created using ink and color on silk, this piece showcases the elegance and grace associated with this revered figure. The artist skillfully captures Samantabhadra's serene expression, symbolizing his unity with the absolute. Another notable portrayal is seen in a gouache on cloth image where he is accompanied by his consort. This representation signifies the harmonious union between masculine and feminine energies within Buddhism. In Yuan dynasty art from the 14th century, an unknown creator crafted a depiction of Puxian, another name for Samantabhadra. This artwork highlights Puxian's role as the Bodhisattva of Benevolence, emphasizing compassion and kindness towards all beings. During China's Period of Division (386-535), seated Buddhas were sculpted alongside bodhisattvas like Samantabhadra riding an elephant. These sculptures exemplify devotion to spiritual practice during a tumultuous time in Chinese history. Moving into Japan's Edo period, we find a Buddhist triad consisting of Sakyamuni Buddha, Manjusri Bodhisattva, and our beloved Samantabhadra. This triad demonstrates their collective significance within Japanese Buddhism. Traveling to Chongqing County in China's Dazu region reveals stone sculptures depicting Manjushri riding a lion - yet another representation showcasing the importance of these deities' roles within Buddhism. An anonymous artist from the 12th century created an exquisite sculpture titled "Fugen Bosatsu, " further highlighting reverence for Samantabhadra during this era. The influence extends beyond art.
