During the Northern and Southern Dynasties "5th-6th centuries," Buddhist statues with unique regional characteristics began to be created. The Northern Wei Dynasty "386-534" of the Northern and Southern Dynasties period produced the most outstanding stone Buddhist sculptures in this long history of Chinese Buddhism. As Buddhism spread throughout China, Buddhist statues with regional characteristics began to be created. ● The Transmission of Buddhism (Buddhist Statues) Buddhism was transmitted from India to Japan via China and the Korean Peninsula, and Buddhist statues were also made. However, during the Asuka period, shortly after its introduction, the statues were limited to Shakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya Bodhisattva, and Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva. ※ Requests ● Product Valuation and Price There is no fixed price for old items with history, and the acquisition route and price vary.
