Description

Antique Japanese Sado No Face Buddha, Stone (SKU 25D-338-2)

Weathered “no-face” stone Buddha from Sado, with softly eroded features and quiet wabi-sabi presence.

Hand-carved from a single block of local stone, this compact Buddha figure embodies the rustic spirituality of Sado Island. The once-defined facial features have been worn away by decades of exposure, creating the characteristic “no-face” expression that invites contemplation rather than depiction.

Traces of moss and natural patina cling to the surface, testifying to its life outdoors as a jizō-like guardian in a garden, temple path, or roadside shrine. Its simple, almost abstract seated form makes it an ideal accent for a Japanese garden, tokonoma alcove, or meditative interior space.

  • Origin: Sado Island, Japan
  • Era: Taishō period (c. 1920s)
  • Material: Natural carved stone
  • Use: Garden or shrine Buddha / contemplative interior display
  • Features: No face stone Buddha form; seated meditation pose; subtle moss growth and patina; classic wabi-sabi character; ideal as a focal point in Japanese garden design
  • Dimensions: 5 1/2"W x 3 1/4" x 8"H
  • Condition: Weathered surface with age-appropriate erosion and moss accretion; structurally sound.

A soulful Sado Island stone figure that brings authentic age, serenity, and understated power to any space.

 

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
