Description
Japanese 17th/18th century scroll painting of a buddhist priest, outlined in a very rare style of incredibly tiny calligraphy mantra. The mantra repeats “Amida Butsu Nam Mo”. The meditating priest holds a strand of mala beads and a willow branch and is seated upon a green lotus throne on clouds. The figure is most likely “Dengyo Daishi”, the monk who brought Buddhism into Japan.
17th/18th Century Edo period (1603-1868)
