拍品专文

The figure represents Prince Shotoku Taishi (574-622), revered as Japan’s patron of Buddhism during the early years, and later venerated as a reincarnation of the Buddha Shakyamuni or the Bodhisattva Kannon. Here may be the image of The sixteen-year-old Shotoku Taishi, originally holding a censer in his hands, taking part in rites for the recovery of his father and his hair hanging down.
