Antique Japanese Buddha, Stone (SKU 25D-339)

Weathered stone Buddha figure in relaxed contemplation, ideal for a serene Japanese garden or alcove display

Hand-carved from a single block of natural stone, this antique Japanese Buddha is depicted in a relaxed seated pose, one hand gently raised to the cheek in quiet contemplation. The figure is carved in low relief against a roughly hewn, pointed backing stone, giving the piece a powerful sense of age and presence while preserving a soft, almost naïve facial expression.

The surface shows natural weathering and patina from long-term outdoor exposure, enhancing the rustic character typical of traditional ishi-dōrō and stone temple figures. Subtle robe lines, the simple headdress, and the solid rectangular base make this a compelling focal point for a meditative corner, shrine, or Japanese-style garden.

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.
