EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the serene beauty of Kokuzo, a significant figure in Japan's Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism. Captured in the 18th century by an unknown artist, this image is a testament to the rich religious and cultural heritage of Japan. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, Kokuzo sits with legs crossed in a meditative pose, his eyes closed in deep contemplation. The vibrant red flowers surrounding him symbolize purity and enlightenment, adding to the overall sense of tranquility that emanates from this scene. Located at Sanboin Temple in Kyoto, this sacred site has long been revered as a place for spiritual reflection and devotion. The circular crown atop Kokuzo's head signifies his elevated status as a bodhisattva – an enlightened being who compassionately guides others towards enlightenment. The Studio Volume 51 publication from London Offices provides us with this remarkable glimpse into Japanese history and culture. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical artifact. As we gaze upon this exquisite portrait, we are transported back to the 18th century when spirituality was deeply intertwined with everyday life in Japan. This print reminds us of the enduring power of faith and its ability to inspire serenity amidst the chaos of our modern world.
