Wisdom King of Passion Aizen Myoo, 1300s. Creator: Unknown
Wisdom King of Passion Aizen Myoo, 1300s. This painting depicts the Buddhist deity the Wisdom King of Passion Aizen Myoo, who converts carnal lust into a desire for enlightenment. Depicted with a red body and six arms, Aizen Myoo is encircled by a flaming halo--or mandorla--and sits on a lotus supported by a vase from which flow flaming, wish-fulfilling jewels. This medieval representation of Aizen Myoo conveys the colour palette, design complexity, fine-line work, and use of cut gold that characterize the most celebrated 14th-century Japanese Buddhist paintings

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite medieval representation of the Wisdom King of Passion Aizen Myoo, a revered Buddhist deity from 14th-century Japan. Created by an unknown artist during the Kamakura period, this painting beautifully captures the essence of Aizen Myoo's transformative power. The vibrant red body and six arms of Aizen Myoo immediately draw attention, symbolizing his ability to convert carnal desires into a yearning for spiritual enlightenment. Encircled by a radiant flaming halo or mandorla, he sits gracefully on a lotus throne supported by a vase that emits flowing flames and wish-fulfilling jewels. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is its intricate design complexity and fine-line work. The use of cut gold adds an ethereal touch, enhancing the divine aura surrounding Aizen Myoo. This piece exemplifies the most celebrated Japanese Buddhist paintings of its time. Preserved as a hanging scroll on silk at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage art transports us back to ancient Japan, offering glimpses into their rich cultural history. As we admire this masterpiece captured in stunning detail by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are reminded of humanity's eternal quest for spiritual growth and transformation through wisdom and passion.
