Eki Dōji (恵喜童子)

One of the Eight Great Child Attendants who serve Fudō Myō-ō. The Eight Great Child Attendants each embody one of the Four Wisdoms (Shichi) and the Four Practices (Shiharamitsu) of Buddhist teachings, and they have the role of protecting all beings who believe in Buddhism and guiding them to enlightenment.
Eki Dōji symbolizes 'The Wisdom of Equality' (Byōdō Shōchi), which teaches that everything in this world is equal, regardless of minor differences. The Mani Jewel held in the left hand represents 'The Wisdom of Blessings and Virtue.'

The model for this is one of the wooden standing statues of the Eight Great Child Attendants, a National Treasure believed to have been crafted by Unkei. The crystal-inlaid eyes reflect vibrant life, and the richly detailed physical expression exemplifies the high realism characteristic of the Kamakura period. Despite its small, palm-sized dimensions, it fully embodies the lively presence typical of Unkei's Buddhist sculptures.
