Kongō Yasha Myōō is presented here as one of the Godai Myōō (Five Wisdom Kings), carved in a compact, finely detailed form that emphasizes a fierce face, multiple arms, and the ritual implements held in each hand.
This piece is suited to those who prefer a small-scale image with strong presence—an object whose crisp lines and careful proportions read clearly even at hand-held size.
About this piece
This is a tsuge (boxwood) carving, shaped and finished to bring out the wood’s tight grain and clean edges. The figure follows established Japanese iconographic models for Kongō Yasha Myōō within the Godai Myōō set—recognizable by the intense expression, dynamic stance, and multiple arms with ritual attributes—forms that were standardized through temple lineages and workshop traditions so they could be reproduced consistently for devotional settings. Made in China, it is produced as a small, accessible rendition of a classical esoteric Buddhist sculptural type rather than a one-off contemporary reinterpretation.
Cultural note
In Japan, the Myōō (Wisdom Kings) are understood within Esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyō) as protective figures whose fierce appearance represents uncompromising, awakened action rather than ordinary anger. Kongō Yasha Myōō is one of the five, associated broadly with cutting through delusion and safeguarding practice. Images like this are typically approached with a respectful, steady intention: placed in a clean, settled spot, treated as a focused object of regard, and handled with care—ideally with clean hands and without placing it directly on the floor. Even in a non-temple setting, many people keep such figures slightly elevated and avoid casual or decorative treatment.

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.
This is recommended if you want your statue to be more than an object — a presence you can practice with.
