EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts Shaka, the historical Buddha, and his six apostles, a significant and revered image in Japanese Buddhism. The slide, part of the Boswell Collection, dates back to the late 19th century, around the 1890s. Shaka, also known as Siddhartha Gautama, is believed to have lived in the 5th and 4th centuries BCE in ancient India. He is considered the founder of Buddhism and is renowned for his enlightenment and teachings on the path to spiritual liberation. The six apostles, or disciples, surrounding Shaka in this image are Raraja, Konagamana, Sariputra, Maudgalyayana, Mahakasyapa, and Ananda. These figures are essential to the Buddhist tradition, as they are believed to have been the primary recipients of Shaka's teachings and played crucial roles in spreading Buddhism throughout India and beyond. The intricately detailed and colorful design of this lantern slide is a testament to the artistic skill and dedication of the craftsmen who created it. The use of lantern slides for presentations and educational purposes was a popular method during the late 19th century, allowing individuals to share knowledge and culture with diverse audiences. This image of Shaka and his six apostles offers a glimpse into the rich history and spiritual traditions of Japan during the late 19th century. The slide's preservation in the Boswell Collection is a valuable reminder of the enduring significance of Buddhism in Japanese culture and its impact on the world.
