With the subversive Christian Movement active in Kyushu in southern Japan where the Portuguese Missionaries were strongest, this cross is a rare and interesting adaptation of Christianity and Buddhism. Though difficult to date precisely, it's said by the Dealer that Kodo Arts obtained this item from that it was made towards the end of the Edo Period 1800-1850. (9¾"x7½") (25cmx19cm).
