Miroku Bosatsu—Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future—appears in Japanese temple art in the famous meditating form: one leg crossed over the other, chin resting in the fingers of one raised hand, the expression one of calm anticipation awaiting the far-future moment of enlightenment. Saito renders the figure with the same compressed force he brought to all sacred subjects, the rounded contours of the pensive bodhisattva translated into the geometric language of the [sosaku-hanga](/glossary/sosaku-hanga) medium.
