This is a beautiful Japanese antique hanging scroll (Kakejiku) featuring traditional Buddhist art. With its serene and spiritual imagery, it offers a timeless connection to Japan’s religious and artistic culture.
The painting depicts the Niga Byakudō-zu (White Path between Two Rivers), a well-known visual representation of Pure Land Buddhist teachings. It illustrates the narrow white path between two perilous rivers—one of fire and one of water—symbolizing human desires and anger. The lone figure walking this path represents the believer’s journey toward salvation, guided by unwavering faith in Amida Buddha. This imagery embodies the central tenets of Jōdo-shū and Jōdo Shinshū (Pure Land Buddhism), often used as a teaching tool to inspire devotion and understanding.
Rendered with delicate brushwork and mounted in the traditional hanging scroll format, this piece likely dates back to the late Edo or Meiji period. It would make a striking addition to any collection of Buddhist art or Japanese antiques.
Ideal for display in meditation rooms, tea rooms, or as a unique wall decoration that brings historical depth and spiritual ambiance to your space.
