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

This is why in traditional Japanese culture Avalokitesvara is called Kanjizai Bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva That Sees and Acts Freely at Will, and is spoken of in the Avalokitesvara Sutra as having thirty-three different forms. 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.
