Kujaku Myoo (Mahamayuri) (孔雀明王)

Kujaku Myōō (Mahamayūrī) is presented here as a finely carved figure in hinoki (Japanese cypress), with a composed expression, peacock-feather motifs, three eyes, and six arms holding ritual implements.

At 44 cm tall, this piece has a clear presence without feeling imposing—an image chosen by some for spaces that benefit from a steady, protective atmosphere in uncertain times.

About this piece

This statue is made through wood carving in hinoki Japanese cypress, shaped and finished to emphasize the layered silhouette of the peacock-feather setting, the balanced posture, and the detailed hands and attributes. The model follows established iconographic conventions for Kujaku Myōō (Mahamayūrī) as transmitted through Japanese esoteric Buddhist art, where consistent forms are preserved so the figure can be recognized across temples and workshops. Such images are produced within that tradition as devotional and ritual supports, reflecting a long-standing school of standardized forms rather than an individual, one-off portrait.

Cultural note

In Japan, Kujaku Myōō is revered within esoteric Buddhism (especially Tendai and Shingon) as a protective figure associated with purification and the calming of harmful influences; the peacock symbolism is often understood as the transformation of “poison” into clarity. Images like this are treated as religious icons rather than decoration: they are approached with a settled intention, placed thoughtfully, and handled with clean hands and a respectful mindset. Many people keep such figures in a quiet, cared-for spot, acknowledging the image with a brief bow or moment of attention rather than casual display.
