Kisshōten (Saraswati) is presented here as a calm, poised figure associated in Japan with auspiciousness, prosperity, and cultivated beauty.
This piece offers a steady presence—often chosen when the wish is for good fortune that feels graceful and balanced rather than showy.
About this piece
Carved from hinoki (Japanese cypress), this statue is a small-format devotional-style figure with a clean silhouette and softly finished surfaces that suit close viewing. The model follows the established Japanese iconographic form of Kisshōten as it appears in Buddhist contexts, where her image is preserved through workshop lineages and repeated patterns rather than attributed to a single named sculptor. This form exists as part of a long tradition of making approachable household-scale images that echo temple iconography while remaining suitable for everyday display.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kisshōten is regarded as an auspicious goddess connected with prosperity, good fortune, and beauty, and she is also linked to courtly ritual and abundance. Rooted in the Indian goddess Saraswati, she is additionally understood at a high level as a guardian of learning, culture, and the arts within Buddhist settings. Images like this are commonly approached with a quiet, respectful mindset—placed where they can be seen clearly, treated as a presence rather than a decoration, and handled with clean hands and care. Many people keep such figures slightly elevated and avoid placing them directly on the floor or in cluttered, casual spaces.

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.
