Monju Bosatsu (Mañjuśrī) is revered as a symbol of wisdom and clear discernment. This piece features the bija (seed syllable) “Man,” presented in an antique-gold finish with a calm, traditional presence.
Made in Takaoka—Japan’s well-known casting region—this metal guardian statue is crafted by artisans who carry forward traditional techniques. It is also associated with the zodiac sign Rabbit (U).
About this piece
A compact, old-style metal devotional figure designed as a personal guardian (omamori honzon) within the “Eight Honored Buddhas” tradition. The antique gold-color finish highlights the sculpted form while keeping an understated, timeless look. Because handwork is part of the process, each statue may show small individual variations.
Cultural note
In Japanese Buddhist culture, Monju Bosatsu is closely connected with learning and wisdom. The “bija” (seed syllable) is a sacred character used in esoteric Buddhist traditions to represent the deity in a condensed form. If you choose to recite the associated mantra (“On, A, Ra, Ha, Sha No”), please do so respectfully and in a way that fits your own practice and beliefs.
