This is a study from a detail of a photograph of a wooden bosatsu from Byodo-in Temple in Uji, Japan. There are 52 stunningly beautiful bosatsu carvings in this temple, and Uji is very famous for its high quality green tea.
Bosatsu means bodhisattva in Japanese. A bodhisattva is one who renounces nirvana, remaining on earth to help all living being attain enlightenment. Lately, I've been feeling drawn to images of those who aren't wracked with anxiety.
