Her beautiful, slender eyebrows and narrow eyes, reminiscent of a new moon, also exude a noble dignity. The mudra of the Shaka Nyorai statue is the meditation mudra, which is the appearance that Buddha had when he attained enlightenment. ＜Halo representing the Buddha's halo＞ The Buddha radiates a beam of light from his body and is always surrounded by light. This light is expressed by a halo, and the halo of the Shaka Nyorai statue is an arabesque halo. The arabesque halo is considered to be extremely auspicious as it stretches endlessly in all directions, symbolizing longevity and prosperity of descendants. The beautiful and dynamic halo is a masterpiece that shows off the craftsmanship of the artist. ＜Base that shows off the craftsmanship＞ The base of the Buddha statue is a lotus seat, carved with a lotus flower in full bloom. The lotus flower, which grows out of muddy water and blooms into a beautiful, pure flower, is considered a symbol of the wisdom and compassion of Buddha. In order to express the curved petals (hanbana), a technique called "fukirenga" is used to carefully attach each petal one by one, creating a beautiful, three-dimensional base.
