EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Daiitoku Myoo" from the Kamakura Period in Japan. Created between 1251-99, this sculpture is made of wood, metal, gold leaf, and pigment, measuring an impressive 130.8x64.1x91.4 cm. "Daiitoku Myoo" also known as a Wisdom King in Esoteric Buddhism, holds great significance in the Buddhist Pantheon. The Sanskrit name translates to "knowledge king" emphasizing their role as a deity associated with wisdom and knowledge. The intricate iconography depicted on this sculpture reflects the deep symbolism embedded within Japanese religious art. The radiant aura surrounding Daiitoku Myoo represents his enlightened nature and divine power. Notably, Daiitoku Myoo is often portrayed riding atop a fierce bull-like creature known as a Heruka in Tibetan Buddhism or Vajra Beast in Japanese culture. This animal symbolizes strength and determination on the spiritual path. As one gazes upon this remarkable piece of artistry, they are transported back to ancient Japan where religion played an integral role in society's fabric. The craftsmanship displayed here exemplifies the skill and dedication of Japanese artists during the 13th century. Now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA, this stunning statue serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and its profound connection to Buddhism. It stands not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a reminder of humanity's eternal quest for wisdom and enlightenment.
