Kisshōten (Saraswati) is presented here as a compact, finely carved figure in tsuge boxwood, made to sit comfortably on a desk, shelf, or small altar space.
The form draws on the Japanese understanding of Kisshōten as an auspicious presence associated with prosperity, harmony, and cultivated accomplishment, with roots in the Indian goddess Saraswati and her connection to knowledge, culture, and the arts.
About this piece
This is a small-scale tsuge (boxwood) carving, shaped and finished to emphasize clean contours and a calm, balanced silhouette. The model follows a widely recognized Kisshōten/Saraswati iconographic tradition—often shown in refined attire and, in some lineages, with multiple arms holding attributes such as scriptures or musical symbols—developed through long-standing workshop patterns rather than a single named artist. Such forms exist as part of established devotional and decorative traditions, created to provide a consistent, recognizable image that can be placed in the home or study.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kisshōten is regarded as an auspicious deity (often counted among the Seven Lucky Gods in related contexts) and is associated broadly with good fortune, beauty, harmony, and refined success; through her Saraswati roots she is also linked at a high level with learning, culture, and the arts. Images like this are commonly approached with a quiet, respectful mindset—kept in a clean place, treated as a presence rather than a mere ornament, and handled with care (for example, avoiding placing it directly on the floor or in cluttered areas). Many people choose a simple routine of keeping the space tidy and offering a moment of attention or gratitude when passing by, without needing elaborate ritual.

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.
