"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.
