The Bodhisattva Manjushri - A Symbol of Wisdom and Enlightenment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of The Bodhisattva Manjushri, a revered figure in Buddhism known for his wisdom and keen understanding. Riding on a majestic lion, Manjushri exudes an aura of tranquility as he breathes vapour into the air, symbolizing his divine presence. The illustration is based on a kakemono from the eleventh century found at the temple of Kozan-Ji in Yamashiro, Japan. Published in The Kokka magazine in May 1904, this color lithograph by Kose-no-Hirotaka beautifully showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that make this artwork truly mesmerizing. Manjushri's lotus position reflects his deep connection with spirituality and enlightenment. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported to a realm where ancient traditions meet contemporary artistry. It serves as a reminder that wisdom transcends time and culture. Interestingly, it is worth noting that the Manchu Qing dynasty derived their name from Manjushri himself, highlighting his significance not only within Buddhism but also within Chinese history. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the rich heritage of Japanese religious art while offering insight into Buddhist beliefs. It invites viewers to delve deeper into their own quest for knowledge and understanding – just like The Bodhisattva Manjushri riding on his lion towards spiritual enlightenment.
