Byakudan Sandalwood Monju Bosatsu (Manjushri) (白檀香合文殊菩薩)

This is Kogobutsu (香合仏), a pocket-sized Buddha statue which you can carry around while you travel. You can also keep this in your home without the worry of space.

In Japan, it's thought that all people, based on their Chinese zodiac sign, have a guardian Buddha or Bodhisattva who provides lifetime-protection. The belief is that by worshiping such Buddha or Bodhisattva, you can lead a peaceful life; and because we think that good fortune will come by placing objects related to your Chinese zodiac around you, Japanese believe that the guardian Buddha or Bodhisattva will also act as a guardian of good fortune, while protecting you from disaster and strengthening the good parts of your character and holding back the bad parts.
