Authentic Japanese Antique Stone Jizo Statue -  Meiji Era to  Early Showa era(c. 1890-1930)

This is a rare and profoundly spiritual Antique Japanese Jizo Bosatsu (Ksitigarbha) statue, hand-carved from natural stone. Dating from the mid-19th to the early 20th century, this piece has witnessed nearly a century and a half of history, likely serving as a guardian in a private temple garden or a roadside sanctuary.

Historical Significance:

  • The Compassionate Guardian: Jizo is the most beloved deity in Japan, known as the protector of travelers, children, and those in transition. Having an antique Jizo is believed to bring a peaceful, protective energy to the home.

Key Features:

  • Time-Honored Patina: The natural stone exhibits a beautiful, soft weathering that only comes from decades of exposure to the elements and ritual handling. Its surface tells a story of long-term devotion.

  • Exquisite Hand-Carving: Unlike modern mass-produced replicas, this Jizo features the unique "knife-cuts" of a traditional stonemason. The face is serene and meditative, embodying the Zen spirit of quietude.

  • Substantial Weight: At over 1kg, this solid stone figure is remarkably stable, making it a perfect centerpiece for a meditation altar or a Zen-inspired bookshelf.

Specifications:

  • Height: 17.7 cm / 7.0 in

  • Weight: 1,036 g / 2.28 lbs

  • Material: Natural Hand-Carved Stone

Condition Report: Authentic Antique Condition. The statue shows natural signs of age, including rounded edges from weathering and minor organic textures inherent to the stone. There are no major cracks or modern repairs, preserving its historical integrity.
