About this piece
Made as a carved wooden statue in hinoki Japanese cypress, this Nyoirin Kannon is produced in China in a style that follows established Japanese iconographic models used for devotional images. The form—seated in stillness and shown with multiple arms—reflects a long tradition of workshop-based Buddhist sculpture, where standardized attributes are carefully repeated so the figure can be immediately recognized within temple and household settings.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kannon (Avalokiteśvara) is widely revered as a compassionate bodhisattva, and Nyoirin Kannon is especially associated with esoteric lineages and temple traditions where specific forms and attributes are treated as meaningful identifiers. Images like this are approached with respect as religious representations: people commonly place them in a clean, settled spot, orient them thoughtfully, and handle them with care and clean hands. Even in non-temple environments, the general mindset is to treat the figure as something more than decoration—kept above clutter, not placed directly on the floor, and regarded with a quiet, considerate attitude.

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.
