Seishi Bosatsu (Mahāsthāmaprāpta) is presented here in a small, quietly composed hinoki wood figure, carved with restraint and a gentle expression.
This piece has been consecrated at Juryo-in Temple in Japan (定額山壽量院), offering a sense of completion and intention beyond the carving itself.
About this piece
Carved by hand from hinoki (Japanese cypress), this statue is made to order in Japan, allowing the sculptor to work carefully and without haste. The form follows established Japanese Buddhist sculptural conventions for Seishi Bosatsu, emphasizing balanced proportions, a composed posture, and a calm facial line. After completion, the statue is consecrated at Juryo-in (定額山壽量院), a temple setting where such images are traditionally prepared with formal intention before being placed in a home or personal space.
Cultural note
In Japan, Buddhist images are generally regarded as objects of reverence that support reflection and remembrance of Buddhist teachings. Seishi Bosatsu is widely understood as a bodhisattva associated with steady resolve and clear-minded strength, often appearing in Pure Land contexts alongside Amida Buddha. Many people approach such statues with a quiet, respectful mindset—placing them in a clean, settled spot, avoiding casual treatment, and handling them with care (often with clean hands). Even when kept in an everyday living space, the intention is typically to relate to the image with sincerity rather than as mere decoration.
