What's Your Name, Kung Fu Buddha? 仏様、お名前は?

Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。 


What do you think it is? I found this 15cm to 20cm tall Buddha in the Tokyo National Museum. It was between an old plaque and an old mirror which were made from the 10th to 12th century and found in Tenkawa village, Nara prefecture, but there was no description of this kung-fu kicking Buddha.

So, hey Buddha, I'm gonna name you "Kung Fu Buddha"!

A curator said that a description of the Buddha is missing and that they're waiting for re-issuance. If you are in Tokyo or considering coming to Japan, don't miss the chance to meet him!!

東京国立博物館に行ってきました。そこの本館で見つけました。ムムム!奈良県天川村で発見された銅板と鏡の間にあったのですが、このちっちゃい(15cm~20cmぐらい)仏さまに関しては何の説明もなし。確認したところ、おそらく漏れてしまい(なくしてしまい)、再発行を依頼しているとのこと。

でもこのとぼけた顔可愛いでしょ。一見の価値ありです!
