Fugen Bosatsu 定額山壽量院 祈祷開眼 仏屋さかい 童仏 普賢菩薩

Fugen Bosatsu — Juryo-in Consecration is a small, serene hinoki wood figure with a balanced, quiet presence, carved to feel calm and steady in the hand and in the room.

Carved in Japan and consecrated at Juryo-in (定額山壽量院), this piece is finished with restraint so the natural warmth of Japanese cypress and the gentle modeling of the form can be appreciated over time.

About this piece

Each statue is hand-carved from hinoki (Japanese cypress) by a Japanese workshop tradition of Buddhist sculpture, using careful knife work and a deliberately simple finish that lets the grain and softness of the wood remain present. The model follows established iconographic forms for Fugen Bosatsu as they have been transmitted through Japanese Buddhist statuary, emphasizing calm proportions and a composed silhouette rather than ornate surface detail. This particular piece has already been consecrated at Juryo-in (定額山壽量院), giving it a clear provenance tied to a specific temple setting.

Cultural note

In Japan, images of bosatsu (bodhisattvas) are approached as devotional representations—respected presences that support reflection and ethical intention rather than decorative motifs. Fugen Bosatsu (Samantabhadra) is broadly associated with steady practice and putting compassionate intention into consistent action. Many households and temple visitors relate to such images quietly: keeping the space around them tidy, handling them with clean hands, and placing them where they can be regarded with composure. A simple, sincere mindset—gratitude, steadiness, and respect—is considered more important than elaborate rules.
