Miroku Bosatsu — Hanka Shiyui is a contemplative figure seated with one leg gently crossed and a hand resting thoughtfully at the cheek, modeled after the celebrated “Hanka Shiyui” Miroku Bosatsu associated with Japan’s Asuka-period masterpieces.
With a softened posture and a faint, quiet smile, this piece brings a calm, reflective presence to a room—more intimate than imposing, and designed to feel steady and humane over time.
About this piece
This statue is made in polystone using a molded production process that captures fine surface detail and balanced proportions. It is a faithful reproduction inspired by the renowned Hanka Shiyui Miroku Bosatsu, a Japanese National Treasure from the Asuka period, created in the tradition of carefully copying well-known historical models so their form can be appreciated in everyday settings. The work focuses on preserving the original’s poised silhouette, gentle facial expression, and the distinctive “pensive” seated pose that has been studied and replicated for generations.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of bosatsu (bodhisattvas) are approached as devotional and cultural objects, often treated with the same quiet respect given to temple icons even when kept in a private home. Miroku (Maitreya) is widely understood as the Buddha of the future—an emblem of what is yet to come and the patience to wait with steadiness. If you choose to display this figure, it is customary to place it thoughtfully in a clean, calm area, avoid casual handling, and treat it as something set apart rather than ordinary décor; many people also refrain from placing such images directly on the floor or in spaces associated with disorder.
