Descrizione:
Buddhas who have achieved perfect enlightenment are called Nyorai (Sanskrit Tathāgata): among them is the Buddha Amida, venerated in the Pure Land Buddhist sect, here seated in the lotus meditation posture. The statue has close affinities with a work commissioned by Shōgun Tokugawa Ietsuna (1641-1680) by Kōjō, the twenty-fifth head of the Shichijō atelier, for the Kan'eijin temple in memory of his mother.
