A large curved leaf nimbus surrounding this Amida Nyori with a radiant wash of gold, illuminating the Buddha of Infinite Light as he descends from the Realm of Bliss to welcome his devotees. The delicate and majestic Buddha is standing serenely on a lotiform lotus pedestal, parallel arcs of falling garment flowing with a rippling rhythm, two semiprecious stone inlaids for the urna and usnisa, his facial features are youthful with great charms, insertion of reverse-painted crystal eyes down cast revealing an imperturbable essence. The figure was carved in the joined wood block technique, the head, hands and feet were carved separately and joined to the torso, the wood surface was lacquered and applied with cut gold leaf; other than minor abrasions and incense smoke darkened the gilded surface through the ages, the statue is remaining in very good condition.
