Daiitoku Myōō is presented here as a compact Godai Myōō (Five Wisdom Kings) figure, carved in tsuge (boxwood) with a strong, directional stance and a concentrated presence.
The sculpting emphasizes the traditional fierce expression, multiple arms, and three eyes—details that give the piece visual intensity while remaining finely scaled for a small altar shelf or quiet display space.
About this piece
This is a tsuge boxwood carving, shaped and finished to bring out the wood’s tight grain and warm tone. The figure follows established Japanese iconographic models for Daiitoku Myōō as one of the Five Wisdom Kings, a form developed within esoteric Buddhist lineages and transmitted through workshop patterns and temple imagery over centuries. Pieces like this are made as devotional images in the Godai Myōō set tradition, where each figure is rendered with specific attributes and a clearly defined, formal posture.
Cultural note
In Japan, Myōō (Wisdom Kings) are understood within esoteric Buddhism—especially Shingon and Tendai—as protective figures whose fierce appearance represents resolute wisdom rather than ordinary anger. Daiitoku Myōō is regarded as a powerful guardian presence, approached with sincerity and a steady mind. When kept in the home, such images are typically placed in a clean, respectful spot, treated as an object of reverence rather than decoration; people generally avoid placing them directly on the floor, and handle them with clean hands and calm intention.

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.
