A whole sacred company, from serene Buddhas and bodhisattvas to watchful guardians and a seated monk, gathers amid clouds, lotuses, halos and flame. Printed with woodblock-style techniques and mounted in navy and gold brocade, this substantial vintage kakejiku arrives in its own storage box.
The Piece
This vintage Japanese Buddhist kakejiku presents an assembly of Buddhas, bodhisattvas, Buddhist guardians and a seated monk, surrounded by luminous clouds, lotus imagery, halos, flames and other sacred motifs. The central figures are arranged in a harmonious devotional formation, a visual expression of wisdom, compassion, protection and the path toward enlightenment.
Warm gold, red, blue, green and ivory tones give the image a dignified presence while preserving a meditative atmosphere. It is a high-quality printed Buddhist image produced using woodblock-style printing techniques, not an original hand-painted work. The large vertical scroll is mounted in deep navy fabric decorated with repeating gold floral and geometric motifs, and serves equally as devotional artwork and as a decorative focal point for an altar, meditation room, tea room or study.
