Clay Relief Tile with Buddhist Triad (Sanzon senbutsu) second half of the 7th century

Museum Description:

Clay relief tiles with figures of the Buddha, known as senbutsu, were made for only a short period of time, between the second half of the seventh and the early eighth century. Here, the Buddha sits beneath a canopy with two (unidentifiable) attendant bodhisattvas in front of the sacred bodhi tree. This example is believed to have been an interior wall decoration at Tachibanadera Temple in Asuka, near the ancient capital of Nara.

A pamphlet from Tachibanadera Temple (橘寺) in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture, of uncertain founding date but appearing in historical records as early as 680, also reputedly the birthplace of Shōtoku Taishi (聖徳太子) (574-622), regent, administrator, and crucially influential early patron of Buddhism

Approaching Tachibanadera Temple (橘寺) up on a hill in Asuka Village, Nara Prefecture: founded in 606 on the alleged site of the birth of Prince Shōtoku Taishi (聖徳太子) (574-622), regent responsible for modernizing government administration and promoting Buddhism’s establishment in Japan, though the current temple structures date to 1864
