Rare and Outstanding Kutani Porcelain Okimono Figure Moriage SatsumaZen monks Kanzan and Jittoku, Edo Period, early 1800'sIn Japan, Kanzan came to be regarded as a local manifestation of the Bodhisattva Monju , distinguished by his superior intellect and wisdom. That Kanzan was typically depicted reading or carrying scrolls of Buddhist sutras reinforced the impression of him as unusually wise. Likewise, Jittoku came to be regarded as a local manifestation of the Bodhisattva Fugen . Fugen is a Boddhisattva of compassionate wisdom. Jittoku would often bring left over food from the monastery kitchen to Kanzan, which may be one reason for the link with Fugen.Figures garbed in Japanese-style clothes with Edo period design,Jittoku stands with his left arm wrapped behind Kanzan, holding a broom while Kanzan holds an open scroll from which he is reading his poems.Very detailed piece including kanji on scrollVery good condition.
