Yakushi Nyorai (Bhaisajyaguru) is a calm, steady presence—often chosen for spaces where health, focus, and everyday rhythm are being rebuilt over time.
This Yakushi-nyohoji figure is sized for a shelf, cabinet, or small altar, offering a quiet focal point without demanding attention. As one owner put it: “I placed this where renewal needed patience.”
About this piece
Carved from tsuge (boxwood), this statue is made through traditional wood-carving and finishing processes: the form is shaped by hand, refined with detailed toolwork, and then polished to bring out the wood’s fine grain. The model follows established Japanese iconographic conventions for Yakushi Nyorai—an image type long produced for temple halls and home altars—adapted here as a compact devotional figure suitable for personal spaces.
Cultural note
In Japan, Yakushi Nyorai (Yakushi Buddha) is widely regarded as a Buddha associated with healing and the restoration of well-being, and images of Yakushi are commonly enshrined in temples and respected in the home. Such figures are approached as sacred representations: people typically place them in a clean, settled spot, handle them with washed hands, and avoid casual placement on the floor or among clutter. A simple, sincere intention—gratitude, reflection, or a wish for steadiness—is considered an appropriate way to relate to this kind of image.
