This compact Gōzanze Myōō figure presents the dynamic presence of one of the Godai Myōō (Five Wisdom Kings), carved with a three-eyed face and six arms in a tightly balanced form.
Sized for a shelf, desk, or small altar space, it offers a focused sculptural study of the Myōō style—expressive features, crisp lines, and a sense of forward energy—while remaining easy to place in everyday interiors.
About this piece
Carved from tsuge (boxwood), this piece is made through traditional small-scale wood carving, with the details of the face, eyes, and multiple arms shaped by hand and finished to emphasize the grain and clean edges. The model follows established Japanese esoteric Buddhist iconography for Gōzanze Myōō as part of the Godai Myōō set—forms that were developed in temple traditions and workshop lineages to provide consistent, recognizable representations across generations. This type of figure exists as a standard devotional image within that tradition, often produced as an individual deity or as one of a coordinated set.
Cultural note
In Japan, Myōō (Wisdom Kings) are understood within esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyō), especially in Shingon and Tendai contexts, as protective figures whose fierce appearance expresses compassion in a forceful, uncompromising form. Gōzanze Myōō is commonly approached as a power that subdues obstacles and transforms turbulent impulses into clarity and resolve. Images like this are treated with respect: many people place them in a clean, settled spot, face them outward rather than tucked away, and avoid casual handling; when moving the figure, it is customary to do so with clean hands and a calm, attentive mindset.
