A contemporary wood-carved statue of Jūichimen Kannon (Eleven-Faced Kannon), composed with stillness, balance, and quiet inward depth.
The additional faces rise subtly above the primary expression, creating a calm, steady presence that reads as attentive rather than forceful—an anchor for a space without imposing itself.
About this piece
This statue is hand-carved from kusu (camphor) wood by the Japanese busshi (Buddhist sculptor) Ishihara Yoshisada. Made individually after an order is placed, it is not a reproduction of a specific historical masterpiece; instead, it follows the established Juichimen Kannon iconographic tradition while reflecting the artist’s contemporary approach. The Eleven-Faced form exists within Japanese sculptural lineages as a formal type developed to present Kannon through multiple expressions and viewpoints, and this work is shaped within that long-standing workshop-based tradition of devotional image-making.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Kannon are widely approached as sacred Buddhist icons—present in temples and, in some homes, in a small altar setting—treated with quiet respect rather than as casual décor. Jūichimen Kannon is understood at a high level as a compassionate presence that perceives suffering from many directions and responds appropriately; the multiple faces express that breadth of awareness. 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 gently (often with clean hands), avoiding placing it directly on the floor or in areas associated with disorder.

Consecration (Eye-opening Ceremony)
You can choose an option to consecrate this statue before shipping from Japan. If you select this option, we will bring the statue for an eye-opening ceremony and ship it to you after the ritual is complete.
This is recommended if you want your statue to be more than an object — a presence you can practice with.
