Ksitigarbha Buddha Silk Painting Art

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a highly significant bodhisattva in Buddhism. The Sanskrit name "Ksitigarbha" (or "Dizang" in Chinese) is derived from Buddhist scriptures that describe him as "enduring and unmoving like the earth, contemplating deeply and keeping secrets like a treasure trove." He symbolizes stability, compassion, and salvation, particularly closely associated with the salvation of beings in hell. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is often depicted as a solemn monk, wearing a monk's robe and holding a tin cane and a precious jewel.

This is an original Asian silk painting art, not a print, that was produced in the 1980s and 1990s by painters from Suzhou, China. Using silk as their canvas, the artists skillfully captured the Song dynasty style of Chinese watercolor paintings. 

Because these paintings are all handicrafts, works with the same theme may have different layout and colors. Also because of limitations in imaging and photography equipment, the image may have subtle color differences from the actual product.
