Monju (Manjushri) is shown seated in Buddhist posture on the back of a lion, holding a sword in the right hand and a Buddhist scripture in the left.
Compact in scale yet clearly modeled, this “Lion Mount” form presents the classic attributes associated with Monju and is often chosen in Japan as a thoughtful, study-adjacent image.
About this piece
This is a Japanese-made cast metal figure produced in zinc alloy, finished to bring out the contours of the lion mount, seated posture, and hand-held attributes. The design follows a long-established Buddhist iconographic model for Monju (Manjushri)—a standardized form developed through temple and workshop traditions so the figure can be recognized at a glance by its posture, sword, and scripture.
Cultural note
In Japan, Monju (Monju Bosatsu) is widely regarded as a bodhisattva associated with wisdom; the proverb “the wisdom of three people equals Monju’s” reflects how familiar this figure is in everyday culture. Images like this are approached as devotional or respectful objects: typically placed in a clean, settled spot, treated with care, and handled with calm attention (for example, avoiding placing it directly on the floor or among clutter). Even outside formal practice, many people keep such images with a quiet, considerate mindset.

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. This option is not required.
