About this piece
Carved from hinoki (Japanese cypress) and finished in saishiki (polychrome) painting, this statue emphasizes crisp contours and layered color to highlight jewelry, drapery, and the four hands with their floral attributes. The form follows established Japanese iconographic models of Kisshōten as a richly adorned female deity, a style preserved through temple imagery and workshop pattern traditions; the “saishiki” approach exists to present the figure with heightened clarity and visual vitality through color, rather than relying solely on the wood surface.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of Kisshōten are approached as devotional representations connected to Buddhist practice and temple culture, and she is widely understood at a high level as a bringer of auspiciousness—associated with prosperity, beauty, and harmonious abundance. Such figures are commonly treated with a quiet, respectful mindset: placed where they can be seen without being handled casually, approached with clean hands, and regarded as more than decoration even in a home setting. If you keep this image, it is customary to give it a stable, slightly elevated place and to maintain a sense of attentiveness and respect in how it is displayed.
