Kokuzo Bosatsu (Ākāśagarbha) (虚空蔵菩薩)

A calm, finely finished Kokuzo Bosatsu figure carved in hinoki (Japanese cypress), sized for a desk, shelf, or small alcove.

This piece offers a clear, traditional presentation of Kokuzo Bosatsu, with a compact footprint that suits everyday spaces where you want a steady visual presence.

About this piece

Carved from hinoki wood and finished to highlight the clean grain and gentle contours, this Kokuzo Bosatsu statue is made as a small-format devotional-style figure based on established Japanese Buddhist iconographic models. The form follows the conventional workshop approach used for home display pieces—careful carving, smoothing, and a restrained finish—so the silhouette and facial expression read clearly at close viewing distance.

Cultural note

In Japan, Kokuzo Bosatsu (Ākāśagarbha) is understood as a bodhisattva associated with vast memory and wisdom, and images of Kokuzo are approached as respectful religious representations rather than decoration. Many people treat such figures with a quiet, attentive mindset: placing them in a clean, settled spot, avoiding casual handling, and keeping the area orderly. If you move the statue, it is customary to do so with clean hands and a sense of care, as you would with an object used for reflection or prayer.
