{"product_id":"miniature-jizo-bosatsu-zushi-shrine","title":"Jizō Bosatsu en miniatura en un santuario zushi lacado, madera dorada, estilo revival Kamakura–Muromachi, 7.4 cm","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"jp-product\" data-world=\"Bushido\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"jp-lede\"\u003eSmall enough to rest in a cupped palm, this lacquered zushi enshrines Jizō Bosatsu, the compassionate bodhisattva who watches over the young, the wayfarer and the departed. Worn gilding, esoteric emblems and quiet revival-style carving make it a rare survivor of private devotion carried close to the body, at only 7.4 cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis finely preserved miniature zushi houses Jizō Bosatsu, one of the most beloved bodhisattvas in Japanese Buddhism. Revered as the protector of children, travelers and souls navigating the afterlife, Jizō occupies a uniquely compassionate position within Buddhist devotional culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure is carved in wood and retains traces of historic gilding, now softened by time. Stylistically the work aligns with Kamakura–Muromachi revival aesthetics, favoring calm proportion, inward expression and devotional intimacy over dramatic display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zushi is built as layered wooden architecture, finished in deep-toned lacquer and adorned with esoteric Buddhist symbols. Shrines of this scale served personal devotion, monastic travel and secondary temple altars; carried, placed in temple sub-altars or kept within private prayer spaces, they emphasized portability and closeness in worship, where scale enhanced intimacy rather than diminishing spiritual authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece suits collectors of Japanese Buddhist art, scholars of miniature devotional practice, and those seeking an authentic personal shrine that reflects lived religious history rather than ornamental reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jizō Bosatsu (Kṣitigarbha)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kamakura–Muromachi revival style (later historic production)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan; Buddhist devotional sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Figure: carved wood with historic gilding remnants · Zushi: lacquered wood construction with esoteric Buddhist motifs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overall height approx. 7.4 cm · Width approx. 4.3 cm · Depth approx. 3.3 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estimated approx. 180–220 g including zushi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAge-consistent condition from prolonged ritual handling and veneration; no modern restoration detected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface wear, lacquer loss and abrasion, minor abrasions, surface losses and age-related patina are present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilding survives as traces on the figure, softened by time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese traces are best understood not as damage but as historical testimony to use, belief and continuity of practice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStylistic attribution only: Kamakura–Muromachi revival style, identified as later historic production rather than a Kamakura or Muromachi original.
