A calm, contemplative figure of Miroku Bosatsu (Maitreya) in the classic Hanka Shiyui pose—one leg gently crossed, a finger resting at the cheek, and a quiet, inward-looking expression.
This form is loved for its sense of stillness: the subtle smile feels neither joyful nor sorrowful, but human and intimate. It sits easily in a room as a steady presence—especially when you’re drawn to reflection, patience, and quiet resolve.
About this piece
Made in polystone, this statue is a faithful replica inspired by the celebrated Hanka Shiyui model, a widely recognized reference in Japanese Buddhist sculpture. The Hanka Shiyui format developed as a formal sculptural type within Buddhist art traditions, created to present Miroku Bosatsu in a distinctive seated posture that emphasizes composure and restraint. This piece follows that established model closely, focusing on the balanced silhouette, the gentle hand-to-cheek gesture, and the nuanced facial expression that has made the form enduring.
Cultural note
In Japan, Buddhist images are generally approached as objects of reverence and reflection, whether in temples, home altars, or quiet personal spaces. Miroku Bosatsu (Maitreya) is understood at a high level as the Buddha of the future—associated with waiting, readiness, and compassionate intention rather than immediate arrival. When kept at home, such figures are typically treated with care: placed somewhere clean and settled, handled with washed hands, and regarded with a respectful mindset even if one is not formally practicing. Many people choose a location where they can pause briefly, offer a moment of attention, or simply sit quietly in front of the image.
