Amida Nyorai – Abiding

A compact bronze figure of Amida Nyorai made in Japan in the Takaoka Dōki tradition, with a calm, balanced presence suited to a small altar or shelf.

The form follows established Pure Land Buddhist iconography: a serene seated posture, restrained expression, and refined proportions, finished with the clean surface treatment associated with Takaoka bronze work.

About this piece

Cast in bronze using techniques associated with Takaoka Dōki—an artisanal bronze-casting lineage from Takaoka, Japan, sustained for over four centuries—this sculpture reflects the workshop tradition that has long produced Buddhist statues and ritual objects. The model follows a conventional Amida Nyorai type preserved through Japanese Buddhist art, where standardized forms are maintained so that proportions, posture, and expression remain consistent across generations of makers.

Cultural note

In Japan, images of Amida Nyorai are closely associated with Pure Land (Jōdo) traditions and are approached as dignified representations of a Buddha rather than as decoration. At a high level, Amida is understood as a compassionate Buddha connected with the aspiration for birth in the Western Pure Land and the reassurance of liberation. Many households treat such figures with quiet respect: placing them in a clean, settled spot, keeping the area orderly, and handling the statue with clean hands and a composed mindset.
