Kakebotoke, or a relief image of a deity on a round wooden or metal object or a mirror, was derived from Shinto-Buddhist syncretism. (Kakebotoke is also called “Mishotai.”) The philosophical base of assimilation of Buddhism with the native Japanese nature worshipping Shinto was that a Shinto deity (Jp; kami) was a manifestation of Buddha. In the exhibited kakebotoke, the openwork Amitabha (Amida Nyorai) image is pasted on a mirror. The spiral curls of hair are carved with a chisel from the back. The mirror’s design is minimalistic with double halos engraved on the mirror, witha small hole at the top for suspending the piece.
