(masterpiece, top quality, best quality, official art, beautiful and aesthetic:1.2), (woody) Enku was a Japanese Buddhist monk and sculptor during the early Edo period. His Buddha statues were unique due to their rustic simplicity and rough carving from single blocks of wood. Embracing natural imperfections, Enku's work reflected his humble lifestyle and deep devotion. He carved profound yet simple facial expressions, often inscribing sutras and prayer marks onto the statues. Remarkably prolific, he is believed to have created around 120,000 statues throughout his life, symbolizing the harmony of his spiritual practice and artistic expression.
