Item description - YO07010180
Nemuri Ikkyu-san, Japanese Stone Buddhist Monk Statue - Stone Buddhist monk statues, Sōryo Ishizō (僧侶石像) in Japanese, can be found at basically all temples throughout Japan in one way or another. Just like real life monks, these statues bring a certain spirituality to the location where they are found.
This specific monk statue is known as Nemuri Ikkyū-san (眠り一休さん), and depicts a sleeping monk of Zen Buddhism called Ikkyū Sōjun, a very famous and beloved historical figure from Japanese history . Next to a monk, he was also a poet and had a large impact on the infusion of Japanese art and literature with Zen culture including breaking Buddhist monastic teachings with his stance against celibacy.
