| A style of sculpture created by the Buddhist sculptor
*busshi §t Jouchou θ©(?-1057),
and imitated by later artists. The style is typified by Jouchou's Amida Nyoraizou ’νΙ@ (1053) in Byoudouin *Hououdou ½@P° Kyoto (wood and gold-leaf). The figure
is seated cross-legged with the knees wide and low. The chest is flat and broad,
and the drapery folds *emon ίΆ are carved in low parallel ridges. The round face has a serene expression known
as enman guzoku ~ο«, meaning 'fully-rounded and perfect, lacking in nothing'
and was thought to represent a state of complete enlightenment, and to express
the 'true form of Buddha' Hotoke-no-Hon'you §Μ{l. Admired for its simplicity
and gentle quality, Jouchou's work was regarded as the perfect representation
of Japanese style *wayou al Japanese style,
as distinct from Chinese style images. Technically, Jouchou is also credited with
having developed the joined-block method *yoseki-zukuri ρΨ’ to its full potential. His works set standard criteria of style and proportion
which later artists used as a model, particularly for figures of seated *Amida ’νΙ. Jouchouyou is best seen in the work of Kyoto sculptors * kyoto
busshi s§t, and his influence also spread to workshops *bussho § throughout the country from the 11-12c onward. Good examples in Kyoto are seated Amida Nyoraizou in Houkaiji @E (late 11c), Houkongouin @ΰ@ (1130), and
Sanzen-in Oη@ (1148), and examples outside Kyoto include the Amida Nyoraizou (1142)
in Kontaiji ΰη\, Shiga prefecture, and the Amida sanzonzou ’νΙOΈ (1172) in Daisenji
εR, Tottori prefecture |
