A compact polychrome figure of Marishiten (Marici), carved in tsuge boxwood and finished with vivid color that brings out the crisp lines of the form.
This piece presents Marishiten in a more complex iconographic style that developed from earlier, simpler depictions—an expressive, finely detailed presence suited to a small shelf or dedicated display space.
About this piece
Carved from tsuge (boxwood) and completed in a polychrome finish, this statue emphasizes sharp carving and layered coloration to articulate facial features, ornaments, and overall silhouette. The model follows established Marishiten imagery seen in Japanese temple and shrine traditions, where later forms became more elaborate than early two-armed representations. Made in China, it is produced as a small-scale devotional-style carving that draws on those historical references while prioritizing clear detail and a lively surface.
Cultural note
In Japan, Marishiten (Marici) is regarded within Buddhist contexts as a protective figure associated broadly with light, swift movement, and steadfast resolve; historically, devotion to Marishiten is also remembered in connection with warrior households. Images like this are approached as respectful representations rather than decoration alone. A common mindset is to place the figure where it can be seen with composure and intention, keep the area clean, and handle it with clean hands—avoiding casual placement on the floor or in cluttered spaces.
