Experience the profound presence of Nichiren Buddhism with this fine art giclée reproduction of a historic Nichiren Shu (日蓮宗) Gohonzon (御本尊), believed to have been inscribed around 1900 during the Meiji era. Revered as both a mandala of devotion and a masterpiece of Japanese calligraphy, this sacred image bridges over a century of Buddhist practice and tradition.
In Nichiren Buddhism, the Gohonzon is more than calligraphy—it is a spiritual mandala embodying the Lotus Sutra’s essence: Nam Myōhō Renge Kyō (南無妙法蓮華経). Surrounded by protective deities, bodhisattvas, and enlightened beings, the central inscription represents the awakening of Buddha nature within all living beings. For practitioners, it is a mirror of enlightenment; for admirers of art, it is a timeless symbol of harmony and wisdom.
This Gohonzon originates from the Nichiren Shu tradition, the oldest and most direct lineage of Nichiren’s teachings. Inscribed during Japan’s Meiji period (1868–1912), a transformative era of modernization and cultural exchange, it reflects the enduring continuity of Nichiren’s vision through times of change. The year 1900 situates it firmly within a time when Japanese temples were working to preserve and transmit authentic Buddhist practices worldwide.
Written in dynamic, flowing brush calligraphy, the composition radiates balance, depth, and spiritual strength.
The interwoven characters draw the eye inward, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the eternal Dharma.
Each print is carefully produced using archival-quality giclée techniques, faithfully capturing the depth of the original ink on handmade parchment-style paper.
