About this piece
Made in Japan using Takaoka-copperware techniques, this statue presents Fugen Bosatsu in a classic iconography: seated on a white elephant, hands in gasshō (palms together). In Buddhist tradition, Fugen is also known as a protector of the Lotus Sutra and is linked with stabilizing the mind among the six perfections (rokuharamitsu).

Consecration (Eye-opening Ceremony)
You can choose an option to consecrate this statue before shipping from Japan. If you select this option, we will bring the statue for an eye-opening ceremony and ship it to you after the ritual is complete.
This is recommended if you want your statue to be more than an object — a presence you can practice with. This option is not required.
