Kisshōten — Saishiki is a compact polychrome figure of the auspicious goddess, presented with a bright, cultivated palette that brings a clear sense of vitality to the form.
This version emphasizes fortune as something graceful and balanced rather than forceful, with color used to articulate elegance, joy, and a steady, harmonious presence.
About this piece
Carved from tsuge (boxwood) and finished in saishiki (polychrome painting), this small-scale work follows the established Japanese tradition of presenting Kisshōten in richly colored form, where layered pigments and fine detailing bring clarity to the silhouette and surface. The model reflects a long-standing iconographic type associated with courtly refinement and auspicious imagery, preserved through workshop practice and repeated forms rather than a single named artist. This particular presentation exists as a recognized variant within the tradition, made to highlight the figure’s poised beauty through color and careful finishing.
Cultural note
In Japan, Kisshōten (Kisshō Tennyo) is understood within Buddhist culture as an auspicious goddess associated with prosperity, beauty, and harmonious abundance, and she is also linked in tradition to Bishamonten. Images of deities are generally approached as respectful representations rather than mere décor: people tend to place them thoughtfully, keep the area clean, and handle them with calm attention. A common mindset is to treat the figure as a focus for gratitude and steadiness in daily life, avoiding casual placement on the floor or in cluttered, neglected spaces.
