About this piece
This statue is carved from tsuge (boxwood) and finished in polychrome, with detailed surface work for the crown, jewelry, and layered garments. The model follows the established Saijiki (six-armed) Nyoirin Kannon iconographic type as preserved through Buddhist sculptural lineages, where standardized hand positions and attributes are reproduced so the form remains recognizable across generations. This format exists within esoteric temple traditions—especially those associated with Shingon and Tendai—where specific variants of Kannon are made in consistent, workshop-based patterns for devotional display and study.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kannon images are approached as compassionate presences within Buddhist practice, and Nyoirin Kannon is widely known as a form connected with thoughtful, steady aid rather than quick answers. The Saijiki (six-armed) form is part of esoteric (mikkyō) lineages, where multi-armed figures express the capacity to respond in many ways at once. In homes and temples alike, such images are typically treated with quiet respect: placed a little above eye level when possible, kept in a clean area, and handled with care—often with clean hands and a composed mindset—so the act of viewing or tending the figure remains intentional.

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.
