Sumptuous Japanese scroll depicting the legendary Buddhist deity, Avalokitesvara or Kannon, also called Kanzeon Bodhisattva, 20th century.

This vibrantly colored portrayal is attributed to Shimoyama Kanzan. Ink and color on silk, silk mounting. Black lacquer roller at bottom and signature at side. Dimensions: 55" high and 14.5” wide.
