Fugen Bosatsu (Fushon) is presented here as a calm, compact figure riding a white elephant, finished with an intentionally antique-like surface that gives the piece a quiet, timeworn presence.
Carved in hinoki (Japanese cypress), this statue is suited to a small shelf or altar space where you want a single image with clear silhouette and gentle detail.
About this piece
This is a hinoki wood statue made to evoke an antique feeling through its finish and overall tone. The model follows a widely recognized Japanese iconographic form of Fugen Bosatsu shown seated on a white elephant with palms together—an established format seen in temple sculpture and devotional images, and also used as a companion (flanking) figure to Shaka (Gautama Buddha) alongside Monju Bosatsu. This form exists as part of that long-standing sculptural tradition, where standardized poses and attributes allow the figure to be immediately identifiable while leaving room for the maker’s carving and surface treatment.
Cultural note
In Japan, Buddhist images are generally regarded as respectful representations used for remembrance, reflection, and devotional practice, whether in temples or in the home. Fugen Bosatsu (Samantabhadra) is commonly understood at a high level as a bodhisattva associated with compassion and the support of Buddhist practice, and is often paired with Monju Bosatsu (wisdom) in traditional arrangements. If you choose to keep this image at home, it is customary to place it in a clean, settled spot, approach it with a calm intention, and handle it with care—avoiding casual placement on the floor or in cluttered areas.
