ksitigarbha
Ksitigarbha is a bodhisattva who is most commonly represented as a Buddhist monk in East Asian Buddhism. "Earth Treasury," "Earth Store," "Earth Matrix," or "Earth Womb" are all possible translations of his name. K?itigarbha is known for his vow to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds between the death of Gautama Buddha and the rise of Maitreya, as well as his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied. He is therefore often regarded as the bodhisattva of hell-beings, as well as the guardian of children and patron deity of deceased children and aborted fetuses in Japanese culture, where he is known as Jiz? or Ojiz?-sama.
He is usually represented as a shaved-headed monk with a halo around his head, wielding a staff to open the gates of hell and a wish-fulfilling diamond to light up the darkness.

In East Asian Mahayana Buddhism, Kitigarbha is one of the four main bodhisattvas. Samantabhadra, Manjusri, and Avalokitevara are the others.
He is represented in a classical bodhisattva form in pre-Tang dynasty grottos in Dunhuang and Longmen. He was increasingly represented as a monk carrying Buddhist prayer beads and a staff after the Tang.
Dayuan Dizang Pusa, or "Kitigarbha Bodhisattva of the Great Vow," is his Chinese name, which is pronounced Daigan Jiz Bosatsu in Japanese and Jijang Bosal in Korean. This term refers to his promise to accept responsibility for the education of all creatures in the six worlds in the age between the Buddha's parinirvana and the rising of Maitreya, as stated in the sutras. Because of its significance, shrines to Kitigarbha are frequently seen in temples, particularly in memorial halls or mausoleums.
About Chocolate Oxidized
This ksitigarbha has been meticulously treated with a chocolate color antique patina. The intention behind this patina is to replicate the appearance of a copper statue that has gracefully aged over a century. Unlike a simple coat of paint, this patina is not applied superficially and is designed to endure. It undergoes an artificial oxidation process that adds depth and character, while also serving as a protective layer against natural oxidation.
By imitating the natural aging process, the chocolate color antique patina lends an air of authenticity and vintage charm to the ksitigarbha. This carefully crafted finish ensures that the patina remains intact for an extended period, offering longevity and resistance to wear. The result is a unique piece that captures the essence of a time-worn copper statue, evoking a sense of history and artistic heritage.
Ceramic Molding System
The ksitigarbha has been crafted using the Ceramic mold casting process, a modern approach that provides an alternative to traditional methods such as the lost-wax system or rubber molding. Also referred to as ceramic molding, this technique involves the creation of a ceramic mold to cast the statue. The process begins by making a precise and detailed wax model of the desired sculpture. The wax model is then coated with layers of ceramic material, creating a sturdy mold. Once the mold is complete, it is fired in a kiln, causing the wax to melt and escape, leaving behind a cavity that perfectly replicates the original sculpture. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, allowing it to fill the cavity and take on the desired form. Once cooled and solidified, the ceramic mold is carefully broken away, revealing the final metal statue.
Contrary to common assumptions, this statue of ksitigarbha is not only created through the ceramic mold casting process but is also 100% hand-finished in Nepal. Skilled artisans in Nepal bring their expertise and attention to detail to add the final touches and refine the sculpture by hand. The city of Patan, renowned for its artistic heritage and craftsmanship, takes pride in being the place where this statue is entirely made. This adds a touch of authenticity and cultural significance to the artwork, as it carries the essence of the artistic traditions and craftsmanship of Patan. The combination of the modern ceramic mold casting process, the meticulous hand-finishing in Nepal, and the artistic legacy of Patan ensures that this statue of ksitigarbha is a unique and captivating piece of art.
