IN THE STYLE OF TOBA SOJO. Prince Shotoku at Age Sixteen

Prince Shotoku at Age Sixteen. Artist: In the Style of Toba Sojo (Japanese, 1053-1140). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 32 1/2 × 20 9/16 in. (82.6 × 52.2 cm). Date: 14th century.
Imaginary portraits and legends about the life of Prince Shotoku (574?-622), the champion of Japanese Buddhism, emerged immediately after his death in 622. This painting of Shotoku is based on his biography, which was edited in the mid-Heian period and portrays him as a supernatural being.
Painted or sculpted koyo-zo (portraits of filial piety), such as this example, characterize nearly half of the extant portraits of Shotoku. Here, the young prince prays for the recovery from illness of his father, the emperor. He is shown in three-quarter view; dressed incongruously like a monk, he stands on a thin carpet and holds an incense burner.
