Amida Nyorai (Amitabha) (阿弥陀如来) | Fujita Yooku (藤田燿憶作)

A gentle wooden figure of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha), carved with a calm expression and an uncluttered, steady presence.

Made from hinoki (Japanese cypress), the piece carries the warmth and natural character of the wood—subtle grain, soft tone, and small variations that make each carving feel individual.

About this piece

This statue is hand-carved in Japan from hinoki by Buddhist sculptor Yoku Fujita, whose work is known for bringing traditional Buddhist forms into a quiet, approachable scale for everyday interiors. The model follows the established Amida Nyorai figure type found across Japanese Buddhist sculpture, simplified here into a clean silhouette and gentle facial features. This kind of carving exists within a long workshop tradition of wooden Buddhist statuary, where recognizable forms are intentionally refined so they can be kept close at hand rather than reserved only for formal settings.

Cultural note

In Japan, images of Buddhas are generally regarded as objects of respect and remembrance, often approached with a quiet, settled mind rather than as decoration. Amida Nyorai is widely known as the Buddha associated with compassion and a sense of being received just as one is, especially within Pure Land traditions. Many people place such figures where they can be seen calmly each day, keeping the surrounding space tidy and treating the statue with clean hands and considerate attention.
