A compact Jizo Bosatsu figure carved in tsuge (boxwood), presented in the familiar monk-like form with a calm, steady presence.
Jizo is traditionally shown holding a wish-fulfilling jewel and a six-ring staff—iconic attributes that make this image immediately recognizable within Japanese Buddhist art.
About this piece
This is a small carved wooden statue made from tsuge boxwood, shaped and finished to emphasize clean contours and a gentle expression. The design follows established Jizo Bosatsu models seen across temple sculpture and devotional objects, especially the monk’s robes and the standard hand-held attributes (jewel and six-ring staff). Such forms are made within a long-standing tradition of producing approachable, personal-scale images intended for quiet, everyday settings rather than large temple halls.
Cultural note
In Japan, Jizo (Jizō Bosatsu) is widely regarded as a compassionate guardian figure, closely associated with care for children, travelers, and those passing through uncertain or difficult circumstances. Images of Jizo are often approached in a simple, heartfelt way—placed neatly, kept clean, and treated with the same respect one would offer at a temple. Many people choose a calm, stable spot at eye level or slightly below, and handle the statue with clean hands and a quiet intention, avoiding casual placement on the floor or in cluttered areas.

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.
