Nyoirin Kannon is a composed, early-Heian-inspired figure reproduced from a celebrated statue enshrined at Hobodai-in Gantoku-ji in Kyoto.
With calm authority and balanced proportions, the figure stands upon the Four Heavenly Kings (Shitennō), creating a grounded composition that feels quiet, steady, and visually assured.
About this piece
This work is a polystone replica made by molding and casting to preserve the overall atmosphere, proportion, and restraint of the original National Treasure attributed to the early Heian period. The model follows the renowned image kept at Hobodai-in Gantoku-ji (Kyoto), reflecting the era’s sculptural preference for harmony, balance, and inner composure rather than heavy ornament. The “Shitenno-za” format—standing above the Four Heavenly Kings—belongs to a long-established sculptural tradition used to present a figure with dignified presence and formal authority; while the identification as Nyoirin Kannon is traditional and still discussed by scholars, the replica is made to honor the established form as it has been received.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kannon (Avalokiteśvara) images are widely approached as compassionate presences, often connected with listening to suffering and offering gentle guidance; Nyoirin Kannon is one well-known form within that broader Kannon tradition. Figures shown with the Four Heavenly Kings are generally understood as being supported by protective guardians of the four directions, a familiar visual language in Japanese Buddhist art. When keeping such an image at home, many people treat it with simple respect: placing it in a clean, settled spot, facing it thoughtfully, and handling it with calm intention (for example, avoiding casual placement on the floor or among clutter). Approaches vary by household and temple tradition, but a quiet, considerate mindset is the common thread.
