Shubodai (Subhūti), from the series Two Bodhisattvas and Ten Great Disciples of Buddha Sakyamuni (Nibosatsu Shaka jūdai deshi)
- Date:
Shubodai (Subhuti) — the disciple renowned as the foremost in the understanding of emptiness (sunyata), the doctrine of the non-substantiality of all phenomena — appears in this print from the "Two Bodhisattvas and Ten Great Disciples" series (carved 1939, reprinted 1968). Subhuti's expertise in emptiness made him the ideal interlocutor for the Prajnaparamita literature, and his identity as the most profound of philosophical disciples had a particular relevance for Munakata, who understood his carving as an act of emptying — removing the wood to reveal what was already present.
