This statue was created amidst the widespread popularity of Pure Land Buddhism during the Muromachi Period. Contemplate the calm and smoothing demeanor of the Amitabha, or Amida-Buddha (Jp: Amida Nyorai), which has retained most of its original form, e.g., the pedestal decorated with layers of designs and lotus flowers and the delicate and yet voluminous cloud-shaped halo. From some gold foils remaining on the statue, it is not difficult to assume that the original entire statue shone brilliantly in gold. The detailed and accomplished workmanship is underpinned by staunch faith.
