A masterpiece series of traditional Buddhist paintings that brilliantly depicts the famous composition that has been drawn by many masters since ancient times. This scroll features Shinran Shonin, the founder of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism, one of the largest schools of Buddhism in Japan. He taught that anyone can attain salvation by entrusting themselves to the compassion of Amida Buddha and reciting his name. He is revered as a great religious reformer and a pioneer of lay Buddhism. The artist is Omori Shuka, a contemporary Japanese painter who specializes in traditional Buddhist paintings. She is a disciple of Omori Sogen, a renowned Zen master and calligrapher. She has created many portraits of Buddhist figures, such as Honen, Nichiren, Dogen, and Kukai, using the techniques of ink and color on silk. She is also a professor at Kyoto University of Art and Design and a director of the Japan Buddhist Art Association. This scroll is a stunning reproduction of her skill and style, as well as a tribute to Shinran Shonin's legacy. The scroll is made of luxurious silk fabric and has a refined atmosphere. It is a perfect choice for various Buddhist ceremonies, such as monthly memorial services, Obon, and O-higan. It is also a beautiful and meaningful decoration for your wall or alcove.
