This Aizen Myōō is a composed yet intense figure rendered in vivid red, seated on a lotus that rises from a vessel-like base and crowned with a lion headdress.
This piece is modeled after a celebrated image associated with Saidai-ji Temple in Nara, offering a clear, sculptural presence that reads strongly from across a room while still rewarding close viewing in the details of the attire and face.
About this piece
This is a polystone reproduction made by molding and casting to capture the forms and surface detailing of a historic reference. The model follows an original Aizen Myōō enshrined at Saidai-ji Temple (Nara), carved in 1247 by the Buddhist sculptor Zenen. The original is connected to the Kei school’s powerful realism (in the lineage of Unkei) while standing out for its refined treatment of garments and its calm, concentrated force. Traditionally regarded as a hibutsu (an image kept from regular public display), the original is noted for preserving much of its historic coloring and gold-leaf character—qualities reflected here in the overall finish and sense of depth.
Cultural note
In Japan, Aizen Myōō (Aizen-ō) is understood as a Myōō—an esoteric Buddhist figure expressed in a fierce form to represent unwavering resolve and the transformation of human passions into the path of awakening. Images like this are commonly approached as devotional icons rather than decoration: they are treated with care, kept in a clean and settled place, and handled with calm intention (for example, lifting with both hands and avoiding casual placement on the floor). Many people choose a spot that feels respectful and quiet, and some will offer a simple moment of acknowledgment before the image as part of their personal routine.
