Bodhisattva Incarnate
Hirakushi Denchū1911
Adachi Museum of Art
Yasugi, Shimane, Japan
The person depicted was a wealthy man in India who thoroughly understood the Buddha's doctrines while being only a layman. As a result, he was said to be a bodhisattva incarnate. His severe eyes look as if he is alive, and this work is from the height of the period in which Denchu was executing Buddhist statuary.
