Buddha — Gassho Cat Yellow is a small, hand-carved wooden figure: a seated cat with paws pressed together in gassho, finished in a soft yellow robe.

Carved from Kiso Hinoki (Japanese cypress), it has a fine grain and a light, warm feel in the hand—an understated piece that sits comfortably on a shelf, desk, or bedside table.

About this piece

This statue is carved by a Busshi (Buddhist sculptor) in Japan using traditional wood-carving methods, shaped from Kiso Hinoki and finished with a yellow-painted robe. The model follows a contemporary workshop design that adapts the established gassho pose—hands together—into a cat form, a format often commissioned as a gentle, approachable devotional object and as a crafted keepsake. Each piece is made individually rather than mass-produced, with the sculptor completing the carving and finish by hand.

Cultural note

In Japan, small Buddhist images are commonly kept in the home as quiet objects of remembrance and reflection, approached with a respectful, settled attitude rather than as decoration alone. The gassho gesture is widely recognized as a simple act of reverence and gratitude; in this playful cat form, it keeps that familiar posture while softening the presentation. Many people place such figures in a clean, calm spot, avoid placing them directly on the floor, and handle them with care—ideally with clean hands—treating the image as something to be greeted and put away thoughtfully.

Placement & care

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.
