This Jizo Bosatsu is a compact figure carved in tsuge (boxwood), presenting Jizo in the calm, monk-like form traditionally shown with a wish-fulfilling jewel and a six-ring staff.
With its small footprint and clear silhouette, this piece is suited to a shelf, desk, or a quiet corner where you want a steady, uncluttered presence.
About this piece
This statue is made by wood carving in tsuge boxwood, a fine-grained material valued for taking crisp detail at a small scale. The model follows the established Jizo Bosatsu iconography used across Japanese Buddhist sculpture—shaven-headed, robed like a monk, and holding the jewel and six-ring staff—an enduring format maintained by workshops because it is immediately recognizable and consistent with long-standing temple and devotional traditions.
Cultural note
In Japan, Jizo Bosatsu (Jizō) is widely regarded as a compassionate bodhisattva closely connected with everyday life, often associated with caring for children and supporting people through difficult passages. Images of Jizō are commonly encountered at temples, cemeteries, and along roadsides, and are approached with a quiet, respectful attitude rather than display-mindedness. If you keep a Jizō image at home, it is customary to place it in a clean, settled spot, handle it with care, and treat it as an object of reverence—many people simply offer a moment of attention or gratitude without elaborate formality.

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.
