A compact carving of Nyoirin Kannon (Wish-Fulfilling Avalokiteśvara), shown seated in still contemplation and holding the Nyoi Hōju jewel.
The figure is rendered with six arms and a calm, balanced silhouette, making it an easy piece to live with on a shelf or small altar space while retaining clear iconographic detail.
About this piece
Carved from tsuge (boxwood), this small statue is made as a finished devotional-style figure with crisp lines and a smooth, warm surface typical of boxwood work. The model follows established Japanese iconographic conventions for Nyoirin Kannon—seated, composed, and accompanied by the wish-fulfilling jewel (Nyoi Hōju)—a form that has been transmitted through temple imagery and workshop patterns over generations. Pieces like this are produced within a long-standing tradition of small-scale Buddhist statuary made for home enshrinement and personal practice, where clear attributes and a stable posture are prioritized in a compact format.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kannon (Avalokiteśvara) is widely approached as a compassionate presence who responds to suffering, and Nyoirin Kannon is especially associated with heartfelt wishes guided by discernment. Images of Kannon are treated as objects of reverence rather than decoration: people commonly place them in a clean, settled spot, greet them with a quiet moment of attention, and keep the area orderly. Handling is typically done with care—clean hands, no casual placement on the floor, and a respectful mindset—reflecting the understanding that the image represents a living tradition of devotion and gratitude.
