This magnificent ceramic representation of Kannon Bosatsu (Guanyin), the beloved Goddess of Mercy in Japanese Buddhism. The statue is a fine example of Kutani ware, renowned for its vivid palette and intricate detailing. The surface is adorned using the specialised Moriage technique, where raised layers of enamel and gold create a textured, three-dimensional effect, particularly noticeable in the ornate robes and decorative patterns. Dated to the Shōwa Era (circa 1950), this piece is a substantial and spiritually significant acquisition for collectors of Japanese religious art and high-quality Kutani ceramics.
