"Kannon Ishigami" refers to a sculpture of Kannon, the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy, in which a stone figure (ishi for stone) is naturally enveloped or em- bedded within a tree root (gami or kami for god, likely referring to the natural form). These naturalistic sculptures, often made in the Edo period, were popular among the literati (bunjin) for their rustic, organic aesthetic, which reflected the concept of wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese philosophy and aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness, valuing the natural cycles of growth and decay over traditional notions of perfection and symmetry. It involves appreciating modest, weathered, or aged items, such as a cracked teacup or a moss-covered stone.

Depicted standing on clouds, wearing a long dress, with a serene face and hair in a bun. Guanyin, the bodhisattva of infinite compassion, is one of the most commonly depicted Buddhist figures in Chinese art. She was believed to have the ability to bless every suffering person in the mortal world. Although in India the bodhisattva was originally understood to be either genderless or male, in far eastern countries like China Japan and Korea, female manifestations such as this one were common.

An antique late 19th to early 20th century late Meiji period Japanese carved wood sculpture of the goddess Kannon also known as Guanyin in China and Avalokiteshvara in Sanskrit. Kannon is a bodhisattva, a being who has attained enlightenment, but delays going to Nirvana (paradise) in order to help the less fortunate in the world. The name translates to "one who hears the sounds of the world" or "one who perceives all," emphasizing her ability to listen to and respond to the suffering of all beings. Kannon has various forms and representations, such as Senju Kannon (Thousand-armed Kannon) and Bato Kannon (Horse-headed Kannon). She is seen as a protector of women, children, and sailors, and is often invoked for help and guidance. This particular Kannon sculpture was hand carved from wood in the late 19th to the early 20th century, and is very finely and realistically carved with a great deal of detail, and a serene compassionate expression on her face. She is seated with one knee up which symbolizes her readiness to help others. She also has a carved wood seashell on the edge of her robe which symbolizes her protective nature and the fact that she is invoked by sailors and fishermen for safe voyages and bountiful catches. Many coastal communities in Japan have erected statues of Kannon overlooking the ocean, symbolizing her presence and protection. The statue has attained a dark patina with age, and I have left it untouched as found. She measures 11" tall by 8" wide by 4.5" deep at bottom. Unmarked, but unmistakably the work of the most talented of Japanese craftsmen/woodworkers. I especially love how the limbs of the figure follow the grain of the wood! A masterpiece of wood carving! From a local Tucson estate of a collector of fine Asian, African, and Oceanic arts. Excellent antique condition.

My glass smalti and bead mosaic interpretation of Kwan Yin, bodhisattva of compassion. She is sitting in a lotus blossom on water in a sea green robe. The background is brightly colored. The sky is various blue shades with white.
She's finished. Now I can enjoy my summer. 🥳🎉 Not that she wasn't fun to do!

My in-process smalti mosaic of Kwan Yin, bodhisattva of compassion. She sits, eyes closed, cross-legged on a white lotus blossom in a light blue robe, surrounded by brightly colored andamento, with a gold smalti and pink beaded halo.
I'm hoping to finish #kwanyin #guanyin today. I broke all the rules with this one, but I have had a lot of fun!

A superb vintage 1930s 40s Chinese export carved natural Hetian nephrite jade Kwanyin Guanyin Quanyin standing among waves design Buddhist statue sculpture. Very finely carved with great detail, and entirely carved from one piece of jade! The figure is standing above crashing waves at her feet, and from one hand she is pouring the waters of compassion onto the troubled world. Kwan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, is often depicted in artistic representations in the waves of the ocean, symbolizing her connection to the waters and her role as a protector of sailors and fishermen. Also, the waters are sometimes called the 'waters of compassion' symbolizing her role as a bodhisattva, an enlightened being who forgoes nirvana to remain and help others achieve it. A lovely shade of soft apple green with great translucency in the carved tips of the waves etc. The figure stands just under 8" tall by 3.75" wide by 2" deep at the base. She weighs 13.7 ounces prior to packing. Unmarked, as expected and as usual for objects of this material and from this origin. She probably originally came with a carved wood base which has been lost in the nearly a century since her making. In any case, she stand perfectly as she is now. Excellent vintage condition.
Quan Yin (also spelled Guanyin Kwan Yin or Kuan Yin and known as Kuan Shih Yin), is known as the bodhisattva of compassion, revered by Buddhists as the Goddess of Mercy. Her name is short for Guan Shi Yin. Guan means to observe, watch, or monitor; Shi means the world; Yin means sounds, specifically sounds of those who suffer. Her name in Chinese roughly translates as "The One who Hears the Cries of the World". Her mantra is 'Om Mani Padme Hum.' ('Hail the Jewel -or pearl- in the Lotus.'), which invokes the powerful benevolent attention and blessings of Chenrezig, the embodiment of compassion. Many believe that she is the female representation of Avalokitesvara, who is the Tibetan and Nepalese God of Compassion. In Asia, statues of Kuan Yin can be found in front of and on the grounds of many Buddhist temples. The water bottle, or kundika, that Kuan Yin holds is a symbol of her role as a purifier and nurturer. The water in the bottle is considered a "divine nectar of life" that can relieve suffering. The vase itself is one of the eight Buddhist emblems of good fortune. The worship of Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara) was very popular in China, where the Bodhisattva was depicted holding a water bottle (kundika) as well as a long-stemmed lotus. The water bottle represents Guanyin's role as purifier and nurturer.

Sit in your power. (I speak of the power to liberate, not to dominate.) You, just as you are, have the power to raise the vibration of the planet, free the planet from Trumpism.
May all beings be free from suffering, and the causes of suffering.
Channel your inner bodhisattva.
