Vintage 1940s Japanese Buddha Head Wall Hanging Mixed Material Art

Vintage 1940s Japanese Buddha Head Wall Hanging – Mixed Material Sculpture 

Own a rare and serene piece of Japanese history with this authentic 1940s Buddha head wall hanging, sourced directly from an official Japanese government auction.

Crafted from a unique combination of wood and ceramic, this decorative sculpture embodies the timeless beauty of Buddhist artistry. The calm expression reflects themes of peace, wisdom, and spiritual awareness, making it a meaningful addition to any collection or interior space.

While visually reminiscent of traditional Japanese Noh masks, this piece was never intended for theatrical performance. Instead, it was created purely as a decorative and contemplative art object.

🪷 Back Inscriptions (Cultural Significance)

The reverse side features intriguing Japanese inscriptions:

• 右宮寺 (Uguiji) – likely referencing a temple or artisan
• 夏雲四八根 (Kaun Shijuhachi Kon) – “Summer Clouds, Forty-Eight Roots”

These markings add depth, mystery, and collectible appeal.
