Subject:寒山 Kanzan & 拾得 Jittoku Part II
Posted By: Mikael Wed, Sep 24, 2014 IP: 62.116.234.64
I take the liberty to continue a topic under a new title, because the request has taken a new direction.

Here are my new questions:

- Guy was generous to share his knowledge by proposing a reading of the backside text of my sculpture.
Dated: 1596 (Bunroku no Saru)
By: Seishin' (青心)
Where: Owari province

Can anyone confirm his suggestions? (Don't mean to disrespect or be ungrateful to Guy by any means)
- Kanzan has what appears to be a text/characters on his scroll. Can it be identifies as a specific poem?
- What was the original use/context of a sculpture like mine? For whom was it made?

Once again I also want to declare that my interest in this sculpture lays in its educational qualities, not for profit or commercial purpose.

Best Regards.

// Mikael (Sweden)

I received some more info from various sources:

From a japanese artist:
_________
first line: BunRoku era, May,
second line: Owari no Kuni, Seto (the area has been famous for the ceramics)
third line: Hotta JingoRo(Family name and given name) made
_________

From a doctor and author in this subject.

____________

I wish I could help you more, but I have never seen anything quite like these. The closest image I can think of is a large statue of Oni Nenbutsu carved in wood that also came out of an old Swedish collection, and is now in the possession of Sydney Moss Gallery, London.

My suspicion is that both statues emerge from a little known tradition of depicting popular deities, often for provincial temples or patrons, and carved by regional sculptors.
