About this piece
This is a carved wooden statue made from hinoki Japanese cypress, shaped and finished to reflect established iconographic features commonly used for Daitoku Myōō within the broader Godai Myōō (Five Wisdom Kings) tradition. The model follows a conventional workshop pattern—fierce facial features, three eyes, and surrounding flames—developed over time to keep the form recognizable across different makers and periods. Such forms exist as part of a long-standing sculptural tradition in which standardized attributes help preserve the identity of the figure while allowing variations in carving style and finish.
Cultural note
In Japan, Myōō (Wisdom Kings) are revered in esoteric Buddhist lineages, especially Shingon and related traditions, as powerful protectors and embodiments of resolute, transformative force. Daitoku Myōō is often understood at a high level as confronting desire and obstacles with uncompromising clarity—an intensity directed toward awakening rather than aggression. Images like this are typically approached with a respectful mindset: placed thoughtfully, kept clean, and handled with calm attention (often with clean hands), avoiding casual treatment or placement in disorderly areas. Many people choose a quiet, stable spot where the figure can be regarded without distraction.
