This is an old Chinese or Japanese book with ten (10) drawings
of Kwan Yin, Guan Yin,the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Compassion.
It folds out like an accordian and the cover is made of cloth and
the front label is clear and undamaged. Kwan Yin is the most
popular Buddhist
Diety in the world - known as Tara or Avalokitesvara in Tibet,
Kannon in Japan, Guan Yin or Kwan Yin in China and various
other forms in Vietnam, Thailand
and India.
she is the one who "hears the cries of all the world" and
hence takes any form to assist those in need. She is particularly
revered by pregnant or barren women, fishermen, and all those
who live and work by water.
All of these drawings appear to be by the same artist, with a very
fine eye for detail and exquisite renderings of 10 manifestations
of the divine protector.
