This statue depicts Gundari Myōō (Kundali), one of the Five Wisdom Kings (Godai Myōō), shown in a dynamic, multi-armed form associated with esoteric Buddhist imagery.
Carved from hinoki (Japanese cypress), it presents crisp detailing and a balanced, upright presence suited to a shelf, cabinet, or dedicated display space.
About this piece
This is a carved wooden figure made from hinoki cypress, produced as a contemporary devotional-style sculpture based on established Japanese iconographic models for Gundari Myōō within the Godai Myōō grouping. The form follows a long-standing tradition of workshop-made Buddhist statuary—created to provide a consistent, recognizable image for home altars and personal practice spaces—rather than being a one-off artist commission.
Cultural note
In Japan, Myōō (Wisdom Kings) are understood as powerful protectors within esoteric Buddhism (Mikkyō), especially in Shingon and Tendai contexts. Gundari Myōō is approached as a figure connected with purification and protective resolve, and images like this are typically treated with quiet respect—as a religious representation rather than a casual ornament. Many people place such a statue in a clean, settled spot, keep the area orderly, and handle the figure with care (often with clean hands), maintaining a mindful attitude when viewing or moving it.
