Gozanze Myōō is presented here as one of the Godai Myōō (Five Wisdom Kings), carved in a compact yet commanding form with a fierce expression and multiple arms.
This piece is suited to those who prefer Buddhist imagery with a strong, disciplined presence—an object that feels direct and resolute rather than gentle or decorative.
About this piece
Carved from hinoki (Japanese cypress), this statue is made as a small-scale devotional-style figure with crisp contours and an emphasis on the dynamic posture and facial intensity typical of Myōō images. The model follows established Japanese iconographic conventions for Gozanze Myōō within the broader Godai Myōō tradition, a form developed in temple contexts where such figures were created as protective images and as part of formal group sets. This example is made in China.
Cultural note
In Japan, Myōō (Wisdom Kings) are revered primarily within esoteric Buddhist lineages (such as Shingon and Tendai) as powerful protectors and disciplinarians—fierce in appearance, yet understood as compassionate forces that remove obstacles and correct what has gone off course. Gozanze Myōō is associated with the wisdom of Ashuku Nyorai (Akshobhya) and is approached as an image of unwavering resolve. When kept in a home or personal space, such figures are typically treated with quiet respect: placed thoughtfully, kept clean, and handled with care and a steady intention rather than as a casual ornament.

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.
