The Buddhism artisan: KENTARO SUZUKI
He is promising Buddhism craftsman. He was well trained as pupil under MUKOYOSHI YUBOKU who is one of the most famous Buddhism artisan, called Dai-Busshi (means great Buddhism artian).
He has many knowledge of special features about wood. I mean, he makes use of a wood's individual features such as the grain of wood. Because Japanese people love the grain of wood and pure appearance of material.
His works were paid by some temples. So we can see them at there.
He can make all kinds of Buddhism icons.
He doesn't use file or sandpaper. He uses various gravers only. All handmade, and all wood (no using a metal such as nails) . It's very sophisticated!!
above: Dainichi Nyorai test carving
below: Bishamon-ten. left half is rough carving. right half is finished (no files and no sandpaper)
To our surprise, he has abnormal power of concentration, he can make it about two weeks unless he accepts other reservations.
He is particular about "Made in Japan", and he's making it. That's why the price is not so cheap (it's keeping high quality that Buddhism temples are buying).
(Expected price is 3000 - 6000 USD on an average.)
It won't be long to sell it!! Please look forward to!!

AMIDA SANZON RAIGO.
According to Buddhism Sutra (Kammuryoju Kyo), when we died, Amida Nyorai comes for us to take us to Gokuraku Jodo.
* Gokuraku Jodo (literal translation : extremely happy pure land. It's close to Christian Heaven).
From that reason, AMIDA is believed in many people. Especially, ancient people believed that AMIDA take us to Gokuraku Jodo as riding on their clouds from far west.
AMIDA-SANZON-RAIGO were painted too much as expression of their imagination.(for example)
This time, Buddhism artisan, M. Yamaguchi has expressed AMIDA-SANZON-RAIGO as three-dimensional.
It's super sophisticated works!!
