Nichiren — Rissho Daishi is a Japanese-made figure honoring Nichiren (1222–1282), the Kamakura-period monk later granted the posthumous title “Rissho Daishi” by Emperor Taishō in 1922.
Rendered in zinc alloy at a compact altar-friendly scale, this piece presents a composed, formal presence suited to collectors and practitioners looking for a clear, traditional representation of Nichiren as remembered within the Nichiren lineage.
About this piece
This is a cast metal figure made in Japan from zinc alloy, produced through a mold-based casting process and finished to bring out the sculpted lines and surface detail. The model follows established Japanese conventions for portraying Nichiren as a revered teacher (often titled Rissho Daishi), reflecting the way his image has been formalized within Nichiren-sect traditions and related devotional arts. Such forms exist to provide a consistent, recognizable likeness for temple and home settings where Nichiren is honored as a historical founder and later venerated figure.
Cultural note
In Japan, images of eminent Buddhist teachers such as Nichiren are commonly treated with the same quiet respect given to other Buddhist icons: placed thoughtfully, kept clean, and approached with a calm, sincere attitude. Within Nichiren traditions, Nichiren is regarded as the founder and a pivotal teacher whose life and writings center on devotion to the Lotus Sutra; his image can function as a focal point for remembrance, gratitude, and commitment to practice. Many households and temples avoid placing such figures directly on the floor or in casual, high-traffic areas, and they are typically handled with clean hands and set down carefully rather than treated as ordinary décor.
