Bonten (Brahmā) is presented here as a calm, dignified guardian figure from Buddhist tradition, associated with clarity, order, and the resolve to bring understanding into the world.
Carved in hinoki (Japanese cypress) with a warm, light tone, this compact statue is sized for a shelf or small altar space while keeping a strong, upright presence.
About this piece
This is a carved wooden figure made from hinoki Japanese cypress, finished to emphasize the clean lines and natural character of the wood. The model follows a widely recognized Buddhist iconographic form of Bonten (Brahmā), a figure transmitted to Japan through the broader East Asian Buddhist sculptural tradition and commonly produced as a devotional image for home and temple settings. Made in China, it reflects contemporary workshop production based on established historical prototypes rather than a single named artist.
Cultural note
In Japan, images like this are approached as sonzō (respected sacred figures) within Buddhist practice, and are treated with a quiet, considerate mindset. Bonten (梵天) is understood as a powerful protective deity who supports the Buddha’s teaching and the flourishing of the Dharma, rather than as an absolute creator. Many people place such figures where they can be seen with composure and gratitude, avoid casual handling, and keep the surrounding area orderly; the emphasis is on respect and intention rather than display.

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.
