About this piece
This statue is made by wood carving in tsuge (boxwood), a dense, fine-grained timber valued for its ability to hold crisp lines and a smooth finish. The model follows a widely recognized Japanese Amida Nyorai iconographic type used in Buddhist statuary and household butsudan traditions, shaped to present a balanced, front-facing form with restrained detailing. Pieces in this style exist as devotional images intended for steady, long-term placement—made to be visually clear, durable, and consistent with established workshop patterns rather than individualized portraiture.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Amida Nyorai (Amitābha) are approached as sacred representations within Buddhism, especially in Pure Land traditions, where Amida is regarded as the Buddha associated with boundless light and compassion and the aspiration for rebirth in the Pure Land. Such figures are commonly placed in a home altar (butsudan) or a quiet, clean area of the home, and treated with everyday respect—handled with clean hands, set above floor level when possible, and oriented with a sense of attentiveness rather than decoration alone. Many people keep the surrounding space simple and uncluttered, approaching the image with a calm intention (such as remembrance, gratitude, or reflection) even when they are not formally practicing.

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.
